Sam Rak-Sakyi made an outstanding full debut for Chelsea in their Europa League clash against Astana, showcasing his composure and technical prowess in midfield.

The 19-year-old academy graduate started in a deep-lying role and delivered an exceptional performance that will surely catch the eye of Chelsea fans and scouts alike.

Rak-Sakyi completed a remarkable 87 out of 88 pass attempts, demonstrating his ability to control the tempo and dictate play. His 99% pass accuracy, as reported by Sofascore, underlined his maturity and confidence despite the high-stakes environment of senior football.

While opportunities in Chelsea’s Premier League squad might be limited due to competition from midfield stars like Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia, Rak-Sakyi’s display could open doors for a promising loan move in January. A loan spell would allow him to gain more first-team experience and continue his development, potentially setting him up for a future role in Chelsea’s senior squad.

For now, Rak-Sakyi has certainly made a statement, and Chelsea fans will be eager to see how the club plans to nurture his talent in the coming months.
