"My head was gone, it was the worst mental health stage I have experienced in my life," recalls the 23-year-old midfielder about a stage of his career that was ravaged by injuries.
Anjorin is now playing regularly at high-flying Empoli in Italy's Serie A after joining on a free transfer from Chelsea in the summer.
This is close to the level people expected for Anjorin, who was seen as one of the finest talents off Chelsea's youth production line at Cobham.
