Last week we told you the story of FA Cup: Brighton and Hove narrowly win at Stoke”>Lewis Baker, old promise of English football. Lined up against Chesterfield last Saturday in the FA Cup, the 26-year-old midfielder played his second game with Chelsea… eight years after his first game for the Blues.
A completely unusual story for Baker who had been loaned to 8 different clubs, without really managing to find his way in recent years.
A succession of rentals that finally ended this week. Baker – who was contracted to Chelsea until next June – was finally able to sign for another club. Stoke City (Championship) has indeed offered a two and a half year contract to the former England U21 international, who is determined to accumulate playing time.
