The Chelsea defender is at the right club given that his favourite colour is blue! A dead give-away given his choice of finish on his slick automobile.

Born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, to Nigerian parents, he moved to England at a young age and started his prospects as a footballer with the youth academy of Chelsea FC. The defender represented the club at various youth levels and was an integral part of the squad which won back-to-back double of the UEFA Youth League and FA Youth Cup in 2015 and 2016. On 15 May 2016, he came on as a second-half substitute, to make his debut for The Blues in a 1-1 draw against newly crowned champions Leicester City. To aid the youngster’s development, he was loaned out to a number of clubs between 2017-2019, with the objective of gaining experience playing first-team football on a regular basis. The young man spent three years in the EFL Championship, featuring for Brighton & Hove Albion, Hull City and Derby County. His spell with Derby County was particularly impressive; the centre-back played at the heart of The Rams’ defence and featured in 55 competitive games. His solidarity and leadership at the back led Derby to the ‘2018/19 EFL Championship Playoffs Final,’ which ended in defeat to Aston Villa. The central defender returned to Chelsea ahead of the 2018/19 season, and made his first start for The Blues in a 2-2 against Sheffield United on 31 August 2019. He netted his first goal for Chelsea in spectacular fashion, hitting a 30-year curler in a 5-2 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers on 14 September 2019. In the summer of 2021 he made the move to AB Miban, in the Italian Serie A.
