Denim Nnamudi has already gone viral.

Now 17 years old, it was when he was just 10 years old that he started to garner national attention.

A video surfaced of him nutmegging boys older than him, with comparisons made to Lionel Messi.

Nnamudi joined Chelsea at the age of eight and was a standout at the club's academy

Footage emerged on him expertly bending a free-kick over the wall and into the corner during a youth match, while he was also seen in a mini-game, skillfully nutmegging older boys with ease.
