Chelsea's Youth Cup captain Charlie Colkett inspired by Cesc Fabregas as
he tries to emulate John Terry and reach first team

Chelsea's FA Youth Cup-winning captain Charlie Colkett has revealed how
training alongside Cesc Fabregas has inspired him to try and become a
'complete, all-round midfielder.'
The 18-year-old helped secure Chelsea's fourth Youth Cup win in six
seasons as they beat Manchester City 2-1 at Stamford Bridge to complete a
5-2 aggregate success.
England under 19 international Colkett played a prominent part in their
Youth Cup run and also helped the Blues to continental success in the UEFA
Youth League a fortnight ago.
And he believes training with Jose Mourinho's first team has helped him
sharpen his skills - especially watching Spanish star Fabregas.
'I see him sometimes first hand and when I train with the first team, it's
about learning from these top class players and taking what you can,' said
Colkett.
'They show me what I need to be doing every day and you see how good he is
on the ball and how he has adapted to the defensive side which Jose
Mourinho likes a lot.
'That's what I'm trying to do, learn off that.'
Colkett, who possesses an excellent range of passing and isn't afraid to
carry the attack forward, believes he has made progress on the less
glamorous side of his game too.
Asked which aspect of his game had improved the most, he said: 'I think
it's my defensive duties and doing the other side of the game and I think
that's something I enjoy doing.
'I want to become that complete, all-round midfielder and then to continue
to work on that and work on my strengths as well.'
The next challenge for the teenager is to emulate John Terry, who was the
last academy graduate to make the Chelsea first team on a regular basis.
'When I train with the first team, the players are dropping comments here
and there but obviously John Terry is a great example of what I want to
do,' he said.
'He's obviously the last person to do that and he's been great with the
young players.
'[Their advice is to] make the most of everything day-in, day-out and to
keep working hard with this talent. Talent is one thing but working hard
to get to that level is the next thing.'
