FULL LIST: Chelsea’s youngest-ever Premier League debutants

Chelsea's youngest-ever Premier League debutants have been revealed, with Academy midfielder Mahdi Nicoll-Jazuli taking the record at just 16 years and 255 days old. Regarded as the second 16-year-old to make a senior debut for the Blues this season, Nicoll-Jazuli and fellow Academy midfielder Reggie Watson were both involved in Xabi Alonso's pre-season plans before receiving their competitive debuts in recent weeks.

They join a list of eight and nine 16-year-olds who have made appearances for Chelsea's first team in competitive matches. Ian Hamilton, at 16 years and 138 days, remains the club's youngest-ever player, scoring in his debut against Tottenham in 1967.
