Nigerian youth prospect Adesina Jeremiah has officially moved from Chelsea’s academy to join Manchester City’s Under-15 side.
The 14 year old midfielder is already known for his creativity, composure on the ball, and ability to control the pace of matches in his age category.
Observers describe him as one of the brightest players in his group.
Adesina himself expressed delight at the move, calling it a major step in his development. With Manchester City’s reputation for
youth development and track record of nurturing young talent, many believe this switch will provide him with a platform to grow further.
Chelsea had been his previous academy, and his departure adds to the growing list of Nigerian
youngsters making waves in European academies.
EditorialWe believe this move for Adesina Jeremiah is significant not just for him personally, but for Nigerian youth football broadly. When a teenager moves from one top academy to another especially from
Chelsea to Manchester City it underlines the scarcity and value of elite opportunity. For Adesina, this is not simply a change of shirt; it’s access to perhaps more resources, higher-intensity training environments, and exposure to a club known for successfully integrating youth into higher levels.
But the path ahead will
challenge him. Academies like City’s demand not only technical ability, but mental resilience, professionalism, and consistency. At 14, finishing school, routines, travel, and
balancing life are already significant. Managers will test him in tight games, see how he responds under pressure, and evaluate qualities beyond the ball work rate, attitude, adaptability.
For Nigerian football, every talent like Adesina moving into strong European youth setups is both a win and a
reminder of what needs to deepen at home: academies that can nurture early, coaches who understand youth development, and pathways for such players to eventually return as national team options. The diaspora of talent can be good, but the strongest future usually mixes overseas development with strong domestic roots.
We expect that Adesina will make the most of his new stage. With the right mindset and nurture, he could become an example of the next wave of Nigerian midfielders dominating youth football in Europe. His journey is just beginning—and watched closely, it may inspire others to follow.
