The Emenalo family story is about more than a Chelsea-linked father and his son. Brothers Sebastien and Landon Emenalo - raised by former Nigeria international and long‑serving Chelsea technical director Michael Emenalo - could become the first siblings to play in the Premier League and the NBA at the same time. Landon, 18, operates as a midfielder or defender, is a regular for Chelsea Under‑21s and represents England at youth level. He progressed through the NBA Global Academy in Canberra, Australia, and is now a freshman guard at Loyola University Maryland in the United States. He has trained under three managers - Mauricio Pochettino, Enzo Maresca and now Liam Rosenior - and has been on the bench in Premier League, Champions League and Conference League matches.
