Chelsea Football Club of London has signed 16- year-old indigene of Rivers State who was born in Norway, Bryant Fiabema.
Speaking with the Father of Fiabema, Dr. Mina Fiabema in an exclusive interview with Tidesports, last Saturday, he said his son started playing football at the age of seven, with a local club in Kroken in Norway.

According to him, he was confident that his son will make it through football, because he has the talent.
“ I am delighted that Chelsea signed my son (Bryan), I knew he would one day play for one of the biggest clubs in the world but did not expect it soon,” Dr. Fiabema said.
He explained that when Chelsea invited him for trials in December 2019, I was confident because he had the potentials to pass it.
“When Chelsea invited him to come for trials in December last year, I was confident that he will make it because he has the quality and talent. I told him to go and have fun, no anxieties, but just be yourself throughout the two weeks” he explained.
Dr. Fiabema equally said that his expectation from his son was to become one of the best strikers in the world.
However, he advised his son to be discipline, diligent and focused to enable him achieve his goals in life, saying that humility and discipline are the keys to success.
As it stands, Bryan Fiabema is the first Rivers State indigene that has signed for Chelsea.
