Chelsea loanee Nathan's perfect elastico makes Sky Sports' Best of 2016

Sky Sports' Soccer AM have put together this video of what they claim are "the best flicks, tricks and skills" from the year that was, including action from China (highly paid Graziano Pellè with a highly impressive turn and shot), Spain, and of course England.

No actual Chelsea players made this year's list, but Chelsea loanee Nathan pops up at around the 15-second mark with a perfect elastico against Heracles Almelo's Tim Breukers. Ronaldinho himself would be proud. Unfortunately, Nathan's skill led only to a missed shot as Vitesse slumped to a 2-1 home defeat. Nathan had started the match and played the first hour or so — one of the eight Eredivisie starts he's made for Chelsea B this season.

The 20-year-old signed with Chelsea in the summer of 2015, but has so far only played for Vitesse. With a contract good through 2020, he's got a little bit of time to make good on his initial promise.
