Young Chelsea midfielder Tino Anjorin has spoken about the strong sense of camaraderie he has found at the club after agreeing a new deal.
Chelsea now have one of the best academies in the game and under Frank Lampard, some of the best talents are heading to Stamford Bridge believing that they will be given a real chance in the Blues first team in the coming seasons.
The Blues have been handing contracts to the young players at the club for the past few weeks, as they prepare for the future and it seems that another five-year deal will be on the horizon for the Blues, as Anjorin recently signed a contract with the club.
And in In an interview with THE INDEPENDANT, Anjorin has spoken about the strong sense of camaraderie he has found as he has progressed through the levels at the club, he said: ‘[In the academy] we’re not friends, we’re like brothers. And when we go over to the first team, it’s very welcoming, it’s like a family.
‘Having players like Tammy [Abraham] and Mason [Mount], they know what it’s like being a younger player in the Academy. They look after you and give you what maybe they never had at my age.
‘Callum [Hudson-Odoi] is only a year above me. It’s relatable, so 100 per cent it makes you more confident knowing the chances are there.
‘I know if I keep working harder I can try and be at their level. I want to try and put myself in the same position that Reece [James] is in now. I want to be scoring, I want to be creating.
‘In five years time, I want to be a leader in the team, helping the younger academy kids to come through, where they can look up to me too and thrive as well.’
