Fans go crazy for throwback picture of a current Chelsea star with a gleaming smile on a visit to Stamford Bridge

‘Once a Blue always a Blue’ is a saying that is often banded around Stamford Bridge, and Chelsea fans have delighted in the club sharing a heartwarming photo of a current player in his youth and seemingly already in love with the club.

The club posted a snap on Instagram of a gleeful child sat in the dugout on a visit to Chelsea’s home ground with a huge gold medal around his neck and seemingly revelling in the opportunity to take in the occasion with friends around him.

But instead of making followers guess who the happy boy in the photo was, the club revealed all by tagging the player that the boy has grown into, which only endeared him further to the Chelsea fans.
