When Celestine first joined Chelsea he spent the first couple of months injured due to a stress fracture in his foot, this was probably due to doing one of his goal celebrations, a running summersalt, the club have always denied how he aquired the injury, but we know different dont we!.

Celestine can operate as a left back or as a left sided midfielder, not sure what position is most suitable for him.

Only 18 Years of age and sure to improve links well with Graeme  La Saux when selected.
