Chelsea: Michael Emenalo's son, Landon, getting fast-tracked in academy
The young midfielder is get fast-tracked in Chelsea's academy and could make his Under-21s debut this week.
Landon Emenalo, son of former Chelsea technical director Michael, last week trained with Mauricio Pochettino's first-team squad on his sixteenth birthday ahead of a possible Under-21s debut tonight.
The midfielder is highly thought of at the club and is getting a major push in his development. He will on Monday night be part of Mark Robinson’s squad for the Premier League Cup match against Colchester United.
The versatile left-footer can play as a holding midfielder, in a box-to-box role, or as an attacking no10. He has even occasionally lined up at left-back.
The London-born youngster has previously played in both the England and United States youth teams, scoring in his last call up for the Young Lions.
His mother’s country of birth is the USA and he is also eligible to play for Nigeria just like his father.
His dad, Michael Emenalo, earned 14 caps for Nigeria in a career that saw him play at the 1994 World Cup and across seven different countries.
Since his retirement, Michael Emenalo was Chelsea's transfer chief before taking a similar role at Monaco. Most recently he was appointed director of football at the Saudi Pro League as the game grows in the Gulf state.
His older son Sebastian Emenalo, 17, is a promising basketball player.

I understand him not being our Technical Director but his son not even considering Nigeria is somehow.

His dad is an ex-Nigerian international who played at the World Cup. The kid has already played for England and USA youth teams according to the article. He doesn't need an invitation card with a bow to consider us. The union has to be mutual too. His dad and his agent can put it out there and let the recruiting war begin. Nigeria will approach him formally and let's see the excuse.danfo driver wrote: ↑Thu Jan 25, 2024 3:08 pmHave we approached him?

But you, you do not want to do work. You want things to fall right on your lap like manna from heaven. And you guys blame Nigerian government for being lazy and lacking innovation or strategy, when the citizenry is the same? Continue to sit there and be waiting for Landon, a 16 year old child, to come and meet you and beg.

Great news for father and son.
Our NFF needs to get their acts together. First start is to develop the local talents and league
instead of chasing after other peoples' finished products. If we have any pride, we should stop
begging for players. Otherwise we should also beg for great administrators.

Re: Landon Emenalo (Mike Emenalo's 16 Year Old Son)
Yeah it's gonna take him actually wanting to play for Nigeria for us to get him.

Where else? on flying NFF members abroad for shopping? Because you do realize that the money you are desperate to save is NOT going to be used for the things you think it should be used for, but more so to enrich NFF members and their cronies, right?

Re: Landon Emenalo (Mike Emenalo's 16 Year Old Son)
It is nice to know that the kid is doing well. Of course, Nigeria may attempt to recruit him for the youth teams but ultimately, he and his family shall decide what is best for the lad. Whichever one he decides should be okay as long as it helps him in achieving success.

This one, I do not understand. Are you saying the federation is not supposed to approach him? That he is supposed to approach the federation? If that's the case, we go wait tire. The guy has signed by an English premiership club at his age, so to an extent, he should be that good. Also for him to play youth football for these two nations, his progression in the game would have been monitored by both nations. So if Nigeria wants to grab them young from overseas, we have to do something better than those who are grooming him. When was the last time you heard of a Japanese FA coming to poach one of our boys in Ajegunle? It's almost impossible, we have first dips cos he harnessed his skills in Nigeria so also the countries of his birthdanfo driver wrote: ↑Thu Jan 25, 2024 4:48 pmHis Mom is an American and he is English.
