Todd Boehly has made no secret of his desire to focus intensely on developing Chelsea's youth system since taking over the club in May 2022.
The American billionaire, who bought the club from Roman Abramovich last year, made his intention clear straight away after walking through the door at Stamford Bridge. Boehly said: "Along with our commitment to developing the youth squad and acquiring the best talent, our plan of action is to invest in the club for the long-term and build on Chelsea's remarkable history of success."
Boehly has even mentioned his plans to develop a multi-club system, but not with the sole intention of building a brand for themselves like other outfits across Europe have done. The American wants a model that would manage and help the development of talented young players.
