Chelsea’s academy has produced a number of quality right-backs in recent years. The likes of Ola Aina, Reece James, Tariq Lamptey, Dujon Sterling, and Henry Lawrence are just some of the names that come to mind and now it appears another name could be set to break through the ranks in Tino Livramento.
The 18-year-old academy graduate could be in line to start against Morecambe in the FA Cup third round on Sunday.

For those who are unfamiliar, Livramento has been one of Chelsea U23’s top performers in this campaign. The attacking right-back possesses admirable pace and creativity. He is very direct and a constant threat when going forward. To top it off, he has contributed an impressive two goals and eight assists in 14 appearances for the U23’s so far this season.

Chelsea fans who have been following the U23’s this season will know all about him. Those who haven’t will be eager to see him. Regardless, the FA Cup tie against Morecambe is the perfect opportunity for him to show his ability, and we are confident he will succeed.
