Chelsea FC is one of, if not the most supported team in Nigeria. And I get a lot of inquiries from young footballers and parents who want their kids to join the official Chelsea academy.

The question, is there really a Chelsea Academy in Nigeria? I mean an academy officially owned or linked to Chelsea Stanford bridge, not an academy that's just named after the team?

There are several articles in this regard, some would link you back to Chelsea academy in the UK, while others claimed there will soon be a Chelsea academy, to be located at Victoria Island Lagos, others said it will be at MKO Abiola stadium in Abuja.

Eden Hazard will go down as one of Chelsea's greatest ever players, yet it has now emerged that the Blues owe a huge debt of gratitude to a club legend for making his stint at Stamford Bridge happen.

Hazard, then renowned as one of the most exciting young talents in world football, put pen to paper on a Chelsea contract in summer 2012 and turned down a host of elite European clubs in doing so.

Many simply put the transfer down to the shrewd business acumen of wealthy owner Roman Abramovich, but new information has come to light showing how Chelsea finally got a deal over the line.
