CHELSEA have signed youth stars Tino Anjorin and George Nunn to their first professional contracts today.
The youngsters have both penned senior deals at Stamford Bridge, becoming the latest in a long line of talented up-and-comers in West London.
Both Nunn and Anjorin are being tipped for big things under Maurizio Sarri at the Blues, if they are given a chance in the first-team.
Speaking after putting pen to paper, Anjorin, 17, said: "I've been at the club for such a long time and to say I'm a professional football is amazing.
"I'm a powerful, technical, box-to-box midfielder. I've got quicker and stronger thanks to the coaching staff."
Former Crewe youth product Nunn, also 17, added: "It's a great moment to spend with my family and I was happy they were all there when I signed.
"I came from League Two, but I've settled in now and ready to kick on."
While Nunn came in from Crewe at the Under-16 level, Anjorin has been on the books since Under-7s.
Anjorin made a huge impact in last year's triumphant FA Youth Cup side and has already made the step up to the Under-23s, scoring on his debut.
Meanwhile, Nunn is easily recognisable thanks to having Sean Dyche's face printed on his shin pads in a long-running in-joke with his lookalike dad.
