The Chelsea academy has a great history of producing future first-team players. But who are the Blues’ current group of young prospects now trying to make it to Stamford Bridge?
The west London natives have developed a number of academy players who have become Chelsea legends over the years. John Terry started out in their youth fold and became their most successful captain. Reece James also reached Chelsea’s first-team from the academy.
Chelsea’s latest batch of academy talents play in the Premier League 2 under head coach Filipe Coelho. Coelho was previously the head coach of the Estoril U23s, where he led the team to the top of the Under-23 Liga Revelacao table.
While the Blues’ youth team play their fixtures at Kingsmeadow, they also use Chelsea’s Cobham Training Centre.
