My Take
Lewis Baker's career is a study in patience that I find genuinely instructive. A Luton-born midfielder snapped up by Chelsea as a youngster, he spent years on loan at Sheffield Wednesday, MK Dons, and a long stint at Vitesse before settling at Stoke City. The danger for academy prodigies at giant clubs is stagnation on the bench; Baker instead chased minutes wherever he could find them. At 182 cm with a reputation for set pieces and long-range strikes, he is the unflashy, effective sort. I tend to think these grafters who keep working outside the spotlight are the real backbone of any side.
