Ghanaian youngster Fatawu Ganiwu is currently on trial in Chelsea's academy.

The 16-year-old midfielder played in an Under-18s match against Sheffield United yesterday and is training with the age group, while also linking up with the Under-21s.

Ganiwu is one of many trialists to come in from Africa, as Nigerian striker Hafez Umar Ibrahim also came in last month.

Improvements are being made to Chelsea's global scouting network under co-director of recruitment Joe Shields.

Ganiwu is yet to be offered a deal from his trial. He has already trained with RB Salzburg and he could opt to try out at another European club.
