A big, strong centre forward, Nouble is a real handful for opposition defences and it was that presence and form shown for the junior teams at Chelsea that led to him making the international breakthrough with the U17s in 2008.
The south Londoner moved on from Stamford Bridge to West Ham United in 2009, and it was at Upton Park where he had a taste of the Premier League under the management of Gianfranco Zola.
His arrival in the Premier League also saw him rewarded with a debut at U19 level in the First Qualifying Round of the European Championships.
