#4 Jacob Maddox

At the Chelsea youth set up since 2013, he is one of the less experienced members of the academy. But what he lacks in experience, he makes up for it in his end result. One more from the attacking midfielders bucket, he is a tricky operator from the midfield very similar to one Willian.

Maddox has scored 12 goals in 51 appearances last season highlighting his eye for the goal. The youngster likes dribbling away from opponents and more often than not he succeeds and if he doesn’t, he wins a free kick. Fresh from the success of the FA and UFEA Youth cups, Jacob Maddox will be around for a while from now.
