Premiership big-spenders Chelsea have handed a three-week trial to Australia Under-20 international forward Billy Celeski.
The 19-year-old, who is one of the country's brightest prospects, will spend just under a month at Stamford Bridge and will train with The Blues' reserve side.
As Celeski does not possess an EU passport it would be extremely unlikely Chelsea could get a work permit for the Australian, however they may opt to loan him to one of their feeder clubs.
The teenager's agent Ismail Ozsoy has stated sending Celeski to England is not a gimic or publicity stunt and believe it is an ideal opportunity for his client to test himself against some of the best youngsters around.
"It's a great opportunity for Billy to see where he is at compared to very talented young players at one of the biggest clubs in the world," said Ozsoy.
"We haven't just sent him over there just to look big. I liaised with a contact of mine in England who knew the scouts at Chelsea.
"I wouldn't send him there to waste his time, or the club's. He will train with the reserves and if they like what they see him might get the chance to train with the seniors."
