JEREMIE BOGA is the name on every Chelsea fans lips as he starts against Burnley at Stamford Bridge.
The 20-year-old makes his official debut for the Blues in their Premier League season opener against the Clarets.
Joining Chelsea's youth set-up in 2009 as a 12-year-old, he has spent the last two season's on loan to Rennes and Granada respectively.
NOT PICKED YOUR FANTASY FOOTBALL TEAM YET? WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
He was part of the side that won the FA Youth Cup in both the 2013/14 and 2014/15 campaigns, as well as triumphing in the UEFA Youth League.
On June 10 this year, he made his debut for the Ivory Coast in an African Cup of Nations qualifier against Guinea.
This was despite being a fully-fledged French youth international.
Today he starts as an attacking midfielder - just in front of Cesc Fabregas and N'Golo Kante, while Antonio Rudiger also started for the Premier League champions.
Chelsea fans were delighted to see the youngster being given a chance in the starting 11 having grown accustomed to their club shipping off many of their youth graduates.
