Arsenal and Chelsea are both in the market of landing the next big footballing stars when it comes to transfer business. The idea of landing young talent that will play for the club for years to come isn't new, but in the age of big spending in the Premier League and rising transfer costs, the desire to sign wonderkids before competitors is heightened.
Arsenal's approach in bringing through Bukayo Saka, Emile Smith Rowe, Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Martinelli into the side underlines this as part of their title charge. A large core of the side are still in their early twenties, showing longevity to any dynasty they wish to create while also saving plenty of money in the transfer market.
Building a similar structure is now the challenge for Chelsea under their new owners Boehly-Clearlake, who have a pointed strategy that will go down a similar route. The signings of Mykhailo Mudryk, Enzo Fernandez and Noni Madueke just underline the direction the club are going in.
