Chelsea may not have had to sign a new midfielder in the form of Aurelien Tchouameni this summer if they could have got their hands on Swedish youngster Hugo Larsson who is flourishing currently in Malmo.
The Swedish outfit have played the Blues on a few occasions including in this year's Champions League group stages whereby the current European and World Champions completed the clean sweep of six points. The two also faced off during the season that Maurizio Sarri won his first trophy as a manager in the Europa League and unsurprisingly, the west London outfit who had Eden Hazard in their ranks at the time, picked up two wins in their knockout games that season.
Usually, you wouldn't associate the Blues scouting network looking into the Scandinavian market but one Malmo player in particular pricked up the ears of the European giants who are always looking to bolster their impressive Cobham factory with new editions. Dylan Williams completed a mid-season switch from Championship side Derby County as experts at Cobham believe he could be a long-term heir to Ben Chilwell or Marcos Alonso in the future.
