Cobham has been a prime producer of talent for Chelsea, with the Blues having an impressive record for supplying players for their first team but also the rest of the football pyramid. Few have rivalled the west London side in the last decade as the likes of Reece James have emerged from the Blues development programme.
Chelsea are still looking to harness such talent whether it be their latest crop of scholars, those providing depth for the senior team in the early stages of pre-season under the watchful eye of Mauricio Pochettino and more recently, an impressive crop of talent signed in their late teens and hoping to break into the first team.
It is no easy task to break into the first team however, and it is often understandable that Chelsea's talents first have to ply their trade on loan or in the development side. The challenge is for the Blues to find the right place for each.
