The new Chelsea ownership have taken a huge stance towards recruitment since taking over the club last year. A push to sign players took last summer's transfer total to £250million spent, while January has seen them pass the £150million mark with a week left to go.
A large portion of the incomings have been centred around the idea of signing young stars that could go on to be some of the best players in the world one day. For that to happen, there must first be patience in the fact that this process is only just beginning, meaning it will take time to embed as well as the players taking time to improve.
However, the initial signs of some of the youngsters proves promising, with a number of cameos in the first-team at this stage of the season. One of those that may take some more time before featuring for the senior side is Andrey Santos, who signing from Vasco de Gama.
