Having already spent more than £50million on teenagers in the summer, Todd Boehly's youth drive at Chelsea looks set to continue as contingency plans are put in place at Stamford Bridge for Graham Potter.
The new manager has arrived with sections of his squad in need of a desperate overhaul, that is despite the £250million spent on players for Thomas Tuchel by Boehly throughout the summer window. Included in the recruitment spree were 18-year-olds Carney Chukwuemeka and Gabriel Slonina alongside 19-year-old Cesare Casadei.
The last two are further away from first-team action with Slonina on-loan at Chicago Fire until the end of MLS season - but he could be back in January to stake an early claim for the No.1 spot under Potter - as Casadei plays with Chelsea's Under-21 side whilst getting accustomed to his new club and country.
