In his brief career "Cele" has accomplished more than most. With 20 years old, he tasted competition at the highest levels of his profession; featuring in a World Cup, an Olympic Games gold medal, as well as all the various European Continental Club competitions with Chelsea. He is extremely fast when marking and when a chance is presented he goes to attack and try to score a goal. He has his very own style for celebrating goals.
