Chelsea have secured their latest crop of scholars to the club, with an event to celebrate the signings taking place at Stamford Bridge last week. Blues legend John Terry was in attendance as he announced his return to the club to work with the academy.
Each year the club announces their newest induction of scholars to continue their development with the club in July. This year the west London side were widely linked with adding players from elsewhere, such as Ethan Nwaneri, but saw a selection of players graduate from their under-16 side.
Players cannot sign professional terms until they turn 17, and must be offered a scholarship agreement to continue with the club. The 2023/24 group of players is smaller after a significant cohort remained with the club last term, when 16 players remained.
