"Chetam has had a superb season, playing most of it with the U18s. He has progressed superbly throughout the season, being called up for an U16 England squad and also training with the first team in October. He has been superb off the pitch too, showing great humility to welcome younger players into the squad such as the U14 players."
Chetam attends the Harris Academy in Thamesmead where he is a senior prefect. He is a left-sided centre back and his role model is the Fulham and Nigeria defender Calvin Bassey. He expressed how grateful he is both for the support of all his family (especially his older brother) and the support of the Charlton Academy staff (in particular Jason Pearce).
