Michael Gyasi hit the headlines back in October 2010 when Premier League giants Chelsea signed the then-11-year-old striker from League Two Northampton Town for a substantial undisclosed fee.

 

Gyasi was playing for the Cobblers under-11s and had been with the club’s centre of excellence for the previous three years.

 

As is often the case with lads of that age, things didn`t go as well as expected and the 20-year-old went on to play non-League football for the likes of Barton Rovers, Crawley Green and Bedford Town.

 

He joined Isthmian League North outfit Coggeshall Town in August 2019 and scored 2 goals in 13 games before moving to league rivals Cambridge City in November, making 8 appearances before switching to Communications Park.
