Who is Philipp Prosenik?

It is no coincidence that Chelsea chose this Austrian, who is expected to be an excellent player. He is often compared to his father Cristiano, who played around 30 international matches and by the end of the 20th century made it to Bundesliga, so Philipp is used to the pressure. He is only 16 and he has always played with the older players. This kid made an early breakthrough in Rapid youth squad, and drew Chelsea’s attention on various European youth tournaments.

While still 12 years old, he played in U17 squad, scored eight goals, and keeps on shaking the nets in the reserve squad of Rapid Wien against the players that are not much younger than his father.

He is very strong in duels, 188cm tall, he can play on various positions in the attack. The experts estimate that English football will agree with him. Most of experts agree that this is one of the best young players in the world.

Great European clubs (Juventus, Bayern, Milan and Chelsea) fought for several months and finally he ended up at Stamford Bridge. Everyone expected Bavarians to have the upper hand but they say that his father who played for the second Munich club, was against the transfer to Bayern.

Prosenik started in Munich where his father played in 1999 and his first steps were made in Germany. Experts think that he has grown past Austrian football and that national squad will have more use of him if he moves to the island.

As from this summer he will play for Chelsea U19 squad, and his debut for Austrian national U21 squad is announced for next year.
