At the age of 16, he was playing regularly for Chelsea's under-23 squad, and was seen as one of Chelsea's best young players. [8] [9] [10] He signed his first professional contract in January 2021, having trained with the first team in preparation for their FA Cup third round tie with Morecambe. [5] [11]

Soonsup-Bell made his Chelsea debut on 22 December 2021 in the quarterfinals of the EFL Cup, starting in a 2–0 win against Brentford. [12] On 30 January 2023, it was confirmed that Soonsup-Bell had signed a contract with Tottenham Hotspur. [13]

International career

Eligible to represent both England and Thailand, through his Thai Grandfather, Soonsup-Bell has played for England at under-15, under-16, under-18 and under-19 level. [2] [5] He is the second highest goal-scorer for the England U16s, behind Jadon Sancho, with six goals in seven appearances. [7]
