Who is Reggie Walsh? 'Perfect' Chelsea youngster rewarded with historic senior debut
Reggie Walsh made history in Chelsea’s Conference League semi-final first leg win over Djurgarden by becoming the youngest player to turn out for the club in almost six decades.
At just 16 years of age, Walsh came on for the final few minutes on Thursday night – replacing fellow academy starlet Tyrique George – with the Blues 4-1 up in Sweden and cruising towards another European final.
Benefitting from a key feature of Chelsea’s Conference League campaign this season where head coach Enzo Maresca has handed out eight debuts to players from the academy, the teenager is being tipped for a very bright future.
