Chelsea can repeat Armando Broja trick to relieve £114m Thomas Tuchel burden amid striker puzzle

Chelsea starlet Jude Soonsup-Bell will be looking to continue his rich vein of form ahead of the development squad's clash with Manchester United in the Premier League 2. The 18-year-old striker has found the net twice in each of his previous two appearances for Andy Myers' side, with goals against Nottingham Forrest and Liverpool.

The prospective academy graduate, who made his senior debut against Brentford in the Carabao Cup quarter-final, is regarded as one of the west London club's brightest talents. While Chelsea's development squad have suffered a subdued campaign, with an FA Youth Cup exit on Monday and relegation on the cards, Soonsup-Bell has come to the fore to rejuvenate the Blues' season.

Myers' side sits second-bottom in the league with two games in hand over Everton, who lead Chelsea by just four points. The west Londoners won the Premier League 2 title in 2020 before falling 14 points short of a successive honour the following season as Manchester City wheeled away victors.
