Chelsea are set to continue with their youth recruitment drive in 2023 as Todd Boehly's goals and ambitions become clearer. The new co-owner has already invested over £250million in new players for the men's team, including £52million on teenagers.
The first transfer window under the new owners proved to be confusing, with Thomas Tuchel quickly moved on and Graham Potter appointed. The 47-year-old has now been left to not only pick up the pieces and get them into somewhat of a cohesive group, he is tasked with starting the long-term rebuild needed.
The move to look at young players has already developed under Potter, with 19-year-old Carney Chukwuemeka earning first team minutes this season before 18-year-old academy graduate Lewis Hall also made his league debut before the World Cup break. Tuchel didn't give teenagers a single minute of Premier League football last season.
