Brooking heaps praise on Chelsea kid Nathan Chalobah after U17 Euro triumph

Chelsea defender Nathaniel Chalobah was singled out for praise after England U17's European Championship final win over Spain.

West Ham United legend and FA Director of Football Development Sir Trevor Brooking told theFA.com: "Nat[haniel Chalobah] is still only 15-and-a-half and he was playing against players that are nearly two whole years older than him. He was excellent."

Chalobah is still on schoolboy forms at Chelsea, though will turn pro upon his return to the club for preseason.
