Ghanaian youngster Fatawu Ganiwu featured for Chelsea’s U18 team on Saturday in a match against Manchester United U18s as part of his ongoing trial with the club. The 16-year-old midfielder has been training with Chelsea’s youth squad, having previously impressed in trials with RC Lens and RB Leipzig.

Ganiwu caught the attention of Chelsea’s coaching staff with a strong performance in a recent friendly against Sheffield United, which ended in a 1-1 draw. Following his involvement with the U18 team, Ganiwu had the chance to watch Chelsea’s first team in action against Inter Milan on Sunday.

Chelsea is considering a potential move for Ganiwu, with co-director of recruitment and talent Joe Shields overseeing the trial process. If successful, the young midfielder could earn a deal with the Premier League club. Another Ghanaian prospect, Vincent Mobilla, is also on trial with Chelsea, as both players aim to secure a move to the English giants and advance their budding careers.
