Introducing Chelsea's New Mexican Sensation, Ulises Dávila

Chelsea's latest acquisition is Mexican wonder kid Ulises Dávila.

The Blues have agreed to a deal with Chivas de Guadalajara with the fee being undisclosed.

There is no indication yet that the Mexican will go out on loan and will be integrated into the Cobhamtraining ground over the international break.

Ever since Jared Borgetti joined Bolton there has been a steady flow of Mexicans arriving in the Premier League with Carlos Vela, Carlos Salcido and Giovani Dos Santos trying their luck.

The biggest success has been Javier Hernández of Manchester United, who will be the ideal role model for Dávila as he attempts to make a big impact at Chelsea.

Almost all of the Mexicans who have tried their luck in England have great technique, but until Hernández, they all suffered from the physical demands imposed on them in England and have sort better environments to pursue their footballing careers.

Ulises Dávila has played just 15 times for his club, Chivas de Guadalajara. He would have played more but for Mexico's policy that all their club sides release their young players to the youth international teams from a young age to not only play fixtures but train regularly instead of training with their clubs.

Dávila enjoyed great success with the U-20 Mexican national team and was pronounced a star after a string of impressive performances this summer at the World Youth Cup.

Dávila and his team mates reached the semi-finals in Colombia and eventually secured third spot with the young Mexican, appearing seven times and scoring once.

Dávila has exerted himself tremendously this summer, as he was also part of the Mexican youth team that impressed during the Toulon tournament, which is renowned for unearthing such talents as RuiCosta, Thierry Henry and Juan Roman Riquelme.

Mexico performed admirably, finishing runners-up in their group to the tournament's runners-up France with Dávila scoring twice, including a special goal in the group stages against Mexico. El Tri were eventually knocked out in the next round by the subsequent winners Colombia, but Dávila ensured a host of big clubs remembered his name.

Chelsea's technical director Michael Emanalo said upon the Blues clinching the Mexican's signing that he "has been a highly scouted player by a lot of clubs. [He] has made great progress in the last couple of tournaments we have seen him play in," before adding that he is "confident Ulises will be able to continue his fast development to become an important Chelsea first-team player."

So what sort of player do Chelsea have on their hands?

Rave reviews have intimated that Dávila is a player with explosive pace and operates perfectly under an intense style, which presumably makes a perfect fit under André Villas-Boas. The Mexican is also deadly from long distance, never shirking responsibility to try his luck from range.

Furthermore, Dávila is comfortable playing wide of a central lone striker, a left or right winger in a 4-3-3, with great skill and trickery to be able to glide past defenders in one-on-one situations.

At just 1m 75 and 73kg the Mexican will be grateful he already possesses a strong upper body that will prove vital in combating the rigors of the Premier League.

Expect to see a lot more of this tricky Mexican, and be sure to follow the journey of Ulises Dávila as Mexico begin to rival Brazil and Argentina in being able to produce the world's best young talent.
