Swedish super athlete Joel Mumbongo reveals Chelsea offer

Orgryte IS prospect Joel Mumbongo has revealed he has an offer from Chelsea.

Chelsea have invited the 14 year-old for trials at the Cobham base.

"Chelsea came to a friendly game against Halmstad and saw me. They made contact with my father, and then they came to more matches.

"They have followed me this past year and we've talked a lot. They want me to go and train with the club," Mumbongo told GP.

The youngster is a gifted athlete. He is Sweden's fastest 14 year old in the 300 metres. And he jumps 1.92 in the high jump - one centimetre higher than the former world record holder Patrik Sjoberg jumped at the same age.
