Step forward Bertrand Traore, who has made a case to be a star of the future with his maiden Blues strike in the FA Cup against MK Dons this afternoon.
The 18-year-old, making his fifth appearance for the first team, scored within five minutes of coming on a substitute with this smart left-footed finish.

Traore joined Chelsea in 2010 and had several seasons out on loan while the club tried to obtain a work permit for him, including a 13-goal campaign at Vitesse Arnhem.
