Heskey be next could starlet to make grade

Liam Delap has taken to life in the Premier League like a seasoned goalscorer and James McAtee is a first-team player with Pep Guardiola after two years at Sheffield United.

Delap and McAtee top-scored in the academy in 2021 and 2022 respectively, with Carlos Borges taking the accolade in 2023.

Palmer recorded 33 goal involvements in 25 appearances in that time for the academy, with the four players earning £79m between them in transfer fees since and all playing Premier League football.

Naturally, attention will turn to who is next. Goals for the academy translate into millions in transfer fees for the Blues these days. Now there is another prolific forward catching the eye this term.
