Tie will reportedly be joining Chelsea in 2017, when he turns 16 years old. Until then, though, it appears Chelsea are getting him some work with a Blues' legend:
Chelsea don't want any reportage on Nicolas Tié with Poitiers FC. Henrique Hilario comes to Poitiers once in a month. #CFC #Chelsea

According to the Châteauroux "Pole Espoir" Fabrice Dubois, Nicolas Tié has everything. The best of his generation. (Charente Libre) #CFC

No more news about Nicolas Tié. Chelsea block any information about him. A secret weapon for the Chelsea board. #CFC #Chelsea

So best of his generation and super-secret training with Hilario? RIP Thibaut Courtois...
