Chelsea are weighing up their transfer options this January in a bid to not only strengthen Graham Potter's current options but also to ensure long-term progress. So far the club's large-scale investment is yet to pay off with big-money moves falling flat but it's the wider youth recruitment which is promising.
Potter turned to teenagers seven times across two matches against Manchester City with Lewis Hall, Omari Hutchinson, Carney Chukwuemeka and Bashir Humphreys all offered their chance to impress. On the whole, they have been some of the more outstanding players in what was a dismal week.
As Todd Boehly and Co now look to find answers to the poor form and continue their transfer strategy the Blues may well be looking for a specific type of incoming. First-team quality is needed with the decline of senior players but signing players outside of their targetted age range could cause issues.
