One thing that has been clear in Chelsea’s new era is that they have not been afraid to invest large resources into the future of their club.
This could well be coming at the expense of their current academy process. There are reports of discontent at Cobham regarding their pathway to the first team.
The Blues have spent big money to bring in some of the world’s most talented players, with the highlight addition up to now being Estevao Willian.
The youngster has broken Neymar’s record for goal contributions in Brazil, and is easily his nation’s most promising young talent at the moment.
Chelsea hand trial to Dastan Satpaev
It is clear that the Blues are not done yet though, and are looking for even younger talents to continue their developments as part of the youth squads at Chelsea.
One youngster they are reportedly big fans of is 16-year-old Dastan Satpaev, who has already made a ridiculously good impression in the U19s league in his home country. He has 25 goal contributions in 12 games.According to Rising Stars XI, the Blues have offered the youngster a trial, labelling him as his nation’s most exciting talent.
Chelsea have also recently offered African talent Emile Witbooi a trial at the club, as they continue to search around the world for the next best talent.

They are risking losing some seriously talented homegrown players though, and appear to have not learnt their lesson from the prior summer.
