Olympics sprint hopeful Adam Gemili could've been Chelsea star

Great Britain's new sprint hope Adam Gemili could've been a Chelsea star!

Gemili rejected the chance to stay with Chelsea when he turned 15, choosing instead to continue his studies.

"He had an amazing time at Chelsea," Mum Sacha told the Daily Mail. "He always played up a year group, so he played with Josh McEachran, who was in the school year above him. They went to Italy and Holland on tours. Eddie Newton coached him, too. Adam still talks about him with real passion."
