Chelsea defender Marc Guehi is regarded as one of the most exciting prospects in Frank Lampard’s side’s youth team.

Chelsea fans have been very impressed by the performance of Marc Guehi in their under-19 side’s match against Ajax in the UEFA Europa Youth League.

Chelsea’s youngsters matched their senior side’s achievement by beating Ajax 1-0 yesterday.

The Blues put in a solid performance against an Ajax team who are hailed for producing some of their finest talents in Europe.

And Guehi’s robust performance in defence has seen Chelsea fans rave about his potential.

There is real excitement building about the current crop of Chelsea youngsters, and Guehi looks like he could be one of the next in line to earn a call-up to Frank Lampard’s senior side.

Lampard has already shown a willingness to trust in youth, so if Guehi does continue to impress then there is a pathway for him into Chelsea’s team.

Guehi has already made his senior debut for the Blues this season, after being handed a chance in the EFL Cup against Grimsby Town, and if he keeps up his current performance levels then Lampard may look to give him more first-team chances before the campaign finishes.
