Chelsea prospect Kai Crampton has trained with the Blues first team for the first time ever this week.

Crampton, who’s still only a 15-year-old, has been involved with Graham Potter’s main group in the warm up to Christmas.

He’s a young talented goalkeeper in the Blues academy and has been given the opportunity to mix it alongside first-team keepers such as Kepa Arrizabalaga and Edouard Mendy.

Everyone will need to wait and see if this rising scholar does turn professional in the future at Stamford Bridge.

Crampton confirmed his involvement in Chelsea training on his Instagram page.

The English teenager uploaded a post on his Instagram story yesterday of himself with the main goalkeeping group.

“What an amazing experience to get my first training session with the 1st team,” he wrote on Instagram.

Crampton turns 16 next month and is definitely someone to listen out for moving forward.

He’s already representing his country as part of England’s under-16s side. Let’s hope he gets more exposure with Chelsea’s senior squad this season, too.

Chelsea have so many exciting young shot-stoppers on their books who will be eyeing the No.1 position at Stamford Bridge in the future.

For example, Gabriel Slonina, Nathan Baxter and Jamie Cumming are aspiring young goalkeepers owned by the Blues. Also, 19-year-old Eddie Beach is currently the first-choice option in Chelsea’s development side right now.
