Chelsea launch talent show for Asian soccer star

This summer Chelsea will hold a competition titled 'Search For An Asian Soccer Star' at the club's Cobham training ground for a three day period in May.

Eligible youths will include British-born youngsters who have descended from an Indian, Pakistani, Sri Lankan or Bangladeshi background.

There are three age groups - Under 12s, U-13s, and U-14s - and the winner of each group will be rewarded with a three-day trial at Chelsea's academy.

Should the young hopefuls be successful on their club trial, then they will be invited to join the Blues' youth system on a more permanent basis.
