Chelsea FA Youth Cup captain Anjorin hopes for 2018 repeat: I won it with Hudson-Odoi and James

Chelsea FA Youth Cup captain Tino Anjorin is excited to still be involved in the competition.

Chelsea kickoff their campaign against Huddersfield Town tomorrow night.

Anjorin won the Cup in 2018 against Arsenal and told the club's website: "That was a mad feeling, because I was a younger player in the team.

"I was playing up with Callum [Hudson-Odoi], Dujon Sterling and Reece James. Playing with those guys was an experience in itself but then winning the cup and scoring in the final topped it all off. The Emirates is a big stadium where historic moments have happened and to say that I've scored at that stadium is massive.

"A successful team needs a good rotational squad and a good morale around the team," listed the midfielder.

"A good run in the FA Youth Cup will have everyone buzzing, happy and enjoying being involved whether they are starting or not. I wasn't starting for the team in the year we won it but I was still so happy to be involved and just around the team - good morale is important."
