Dominic Solanke: Where did it go wrong?

The precocious former NxGn talent was tipped for greatness in his youth, but hasn’t come anywhere close to hitting the expected heights

Chelsea’s Dominic Solanke had the world at his feet in his teens.

This is evidenced by an impressive collection of trophies and individual accolades he acquired while coming through the youth teams at Cobham.

The striker won the Uefa Youth League, U-21 Premier League title and FA Youth Cup (twice) with Chelsea, while he fared really well on the international stage too; claiming the Uefa European U-17 Championship in 2017 as well as the big one in Tunisia, the Fifa U-20 World Cup, which was held in 2017.
