Ben Sampayo (born 10 December 1992 in Dagenham, London, England) is a defender who currently plays for Chelsea's Academy team.
Chelsea career
Ben first came to attention when he played a part in the Under-16 team of 2008-09, but was a little behind some of his fellow 2009 scholars as education took priority over football for the majority of that season. A right-back or centre-back, he’s not exceptionally tall or broad yet, but has a good understanding of the game and is a calm and assured presence with some decent athleticism, and a natural leadership.
Tom Hayden’s departure from the youth team allowed him to perhaps make more appearances than he expected - as he indicated an an interview with the club's official magazine - and towards the end of the season he played at left-back as well as right-back, impressing more with each outing.
Ben has no international representation to date.

All article I found only talk about his career and that he was born in England. Nothing talks about his lineage. He certainly looks like he's got some mixed blood in him. Let's keep our fingers crossed that it's Filipino.

He just told me via FB that he has no Filipino lineage, he's actually part Portuguese.
