da bwin： Chelsea supporters in the Transfer Tavern are conscious of their club’s poor record at youth development.
da fazobetai： Our resident Blues fans are somewhat embarrassed that John Terry remains to be the last Academy graduate that successfully managed to integrate himself into the first-team setup.
The Premier League champions flaunt one of the best academies in world football, yet fail to ensure the transition of these players into the first team.
The Blues became the first team to retain the UEFA Youth League in 2016 and won the FA Youth Cup last term for the fifth successive season; the under-18 team were also crowned national champions.
Considering the astonishing success that the Blues’ academy sides have achieved, our landlord believes that it would be sensible for Conte to fast-track some of the club’s academy players – a method that could save the club a substantial amount of money.
Here are the three players that our landlord has highlighted…
Callum Hudson-Odoi
The 16-year-old is a gifted attacking player, able to operate in any forward position.
Despite his age, Odoi has clearly made quite the impression on the Chelsea hierarchy and testified his status as a vital player in the Blues’ treble winning season last term.
The Englishman scored eight goals in all competitions for the champions last season.
Kyle Scott
Another midfielder who is lauded for his technical ability is 19-year-old Kyle Scott.
The youngster has been named on the Blues’ tour of the Far East, and he’s already represented three different international teams at various youth levels. During his time at Chelsea, Scott has won the UEFA Youth League twice and the FA Youth Cup twice.
This is a player who flaunts magnificent potential.
Dujon Sterling
The 18-year-old is a truly exceptional talent, regarded highly among the Chelsea ranks due to his evident creativity and startling trickery.
He possesses the ability to play in a number positions, and the teenager has won the UEFA Youth League, the FA Youth Cup and the U18 Premier League during his time in West London.
The champions’ starlet scored 11 goals in all competitions last season.
