Chelsea keeper coach Lollichon says Jamal Blackman has big chance

Chelsea goalkeeper coach Christophe Lollichon says youngster Jamal Blackman has a big chance.

Blackman, 17, is the No1 in Chelsea's FA Youth Cup team.

"Jamal has a lot of quality to be a professional keeper but it is too early to say okay, maybe he is a future keeper for Chelsea," Lollichon told chelseafc.com

"His qualities are he is very tall with exceptional arm span but he has to continue to build his body. He is quick and quick to get down on the floor. He needs to improve technically and tactically and he has to have more influence on his defenders. Now he is a little bit timid and the keeper has to be the boss. He has to understand this is very, very important."
