A list published of the most impressive young talents in world football has included three Chelsea players.
The creation by GOAL ranks the most promising young players in the game, and the Blues have their fair share of representatives this year.
Lewis Hall, Gabriel Slonina and Andrey Santos have all been included on the list of talented young stars.
Hall rose to fame just before the World Cup, when he came in as a result of injury issues in his unfamiliar left back role.
He took to the position very brightly at first, shining particularly in a Carabao Cup defeat to Manchester City where he outshone fellow youngster Rico Lewis on the day.
The other two representatives have been a result of tireless scouting from the new team since Todd Boehly arrived as owner of Chelsea.
Chelsea have three rated youngsters
Slonina was the club’s first signing under the American, and completed a loan spell back at Chicago Fire before becoming a regular in the U21 side.
A string of impressive performances in PL2 has only brought more attention to his abilities, and the promise he shows to star at the top of the game.
He is also now a full international, after making his USMNT debut earlier this year.
Santos meanwhile is the player the club are arguably the most excited about. There were reports that they were even happier with their January signing for him than securing Enzo Fernandez.
While he is currently on loan back in Brazil after not being able to secure a work permit, the signs suggest he will be ready for inclusion in the first team as early as the upcoming pre-season.
If his sensational performances at the recent U20 South American championships are anything to go by, the Blues will have a serious talent on their hands.
