He was born and raised in London, making him potentially eligible to play for the Three Lions as a UK passport holder. Shevchenko scored Chelsea 's opening goal in a 4-0 win against Watford in 2006 - just his second Stamford Bridge goal following his £30m move from AC Milan - the day after his son's birth. He and team-mates Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole and Didier Drogba marked the goal with a 'rock the baby' celebration. And in 2020, Shevchenko confirmed his son was playing for the Blues youngsters, saying: "My second son is training at Chelsea academy. "This is a very good school, which brought up more than a dozen players of excellent level." However, after a short time on trial, it was confirmed that Kristian had signed for Watford . Kristian had previously spent time at Chelsea and was part of the academy before making the switch to the Hornets after featuring in a few youth matches last season. He would also qualify to play internationally for Ukraine and likely the USA and Poland via his mother's citizenship - Shevchenko's wife is Polish-American model Kristen Pazik. Asked which national team he would like his son to represent in the future, his dad previously said: "I would like to face such a choice. I'd love to. If there is to be such a choice, then we will talk." The ex-Ukraine international-turned-boss, who scored 48 goals in 111 games for his country){kind=link}
