“Defiantly be expecting him” – 18-year-old Chelsea player scores absolutely ridiculous goal in Chelsea training
Chelsea fans have seen limited action from Deivid Washington this season since his arrival from Santos in the summer. The young forward has made just one appearance in the Premier League so far, but a recent display of talent in training has caught the attention of Chelsea supporters. The club shared a short video clip on their official X account, showcasing Washington’s skill as he scored with a flick while facing away from the goal.

While such tricks may not be a common sight in the Premier League, the video highlights the potential talent that Washington possesses. However, the likelihood of him getting significant playing time at Chelsea this season seems low, especially with Mauricio Pochettino having Nicolas Jackson and Armando Broja at his disposal.
The prospect of Chelsea potentially signing a new striker in the upcoming transfer window could further limit Washington’s opportunities. The current rules regarding player loans also complicate matters, as Chelsea can only loan out a certain number of players.
Despite the challenges, staying at Chelsea until the end of the season allows Washington to benefit from training with top-class players and working under the guidance of coach Pochettino. However, it’s suggested that, at some point, Washington may need to go out on loan to gain valuable game time, as he may not be ready to lead Chelsea’s frontline at this stage of his development.
