October 2025
Chelsea scouts have tracked 16-year-old Abduljelil Kamaldeen during the U20 World Cup in Chile. The young midfielder impressed off the bench in Nigeria’s 1-0 loss to Norway and is tipped to start against Saudi Arabia, showing maturity beyond his age.
Reports from The Sun highlight Chelsea’s admiration for his composure against older players. Kamaldeen nearly scored an equaliser and showed technical skill. His progression could accelerate with international minutes, and Stamford Bridge recruiters are weighing a move to secure him as a long-term prospect.
