Milan Lalkovic
Chelsea in recent years have not been known for creating home grown strikers from their youth ranks. For the past decade or so they have spent large sums of money on the best talent around instead of turning to the youths to be given an opportunity to a name for themselves. However the tradition of Roman Abramovic buying multi-million pound strikers could possibly change as they have an eager Slovakian pushing his way into the squad.
The 21 year old Striker/Winger has been put out on loan to 4 different clubs including making 6 appearances for Doncaster Rovers, two for ADO Den Haag and 8 for Vitoria de Guimares. However it’s only till now at Walsall he is beginning to make an impact scoring wise.
The Slovak playing for the League one side has notched in 5 goals in 25 appearances as well as creating a good few goals. With his elusive running on the ball and impressive range of passes Walsall fans have found a talisman upfront.
He was signed by Chelsea in 2010 after playing for Slovakian team MFK Košice aged just 17. Ever since signing he has built a solid reputation throughout the Chelsea youth system. Milan and Romelu Lukaku created a formidable partnership at the time when Chelsea’s under 20’s were undefeated for nearly a full season.
Although Milan’s goal to game ratio isn’t overly impressive, he is brilliant at bringing others into the game. He isn’t the strongest or biggest player but his close control is very good and opposing defenders struggle to take the ball of him. He uses step over’s a lot and is good at deceiving the defender with just a simple dip of the shoulder and he is past the defender . He has been described to have a similar playing style to Liverpool’s Luis Suarez, having a good work rate of the ball, impressive acceleration. If Milan is one on one with the goalie 9 times out of 10 it will go in the back of the net, often the bottom corner. His shot aren’t struck with enormous pace but extremely accurate and usually in parts of the goal that the keeper struggles to reach.
