Naturally, a summer transfer window full of incomings is going to excite a lot of supporters. For Chelsea, that is the case as the club embarks on a new era under the co-ownership of Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital.
However, there is a possible downside of bringing new signings to the club – blocking the development of the young players in the ranks. Chelsea supporters take pride in their academy stars now shining for the senior team. Just see the likes of Mason Mount, Reece James and Trevoh Chalobah.
All three of these Cobham graduates were integral for the Blues last season. Many are now wondering who the next young star will be who breaks out of the academy system and helps with matters in the senior squad.
