The Blues have a huge pool of players to choose from as they continue with their policy of trying to stockpile the best talent from around Europe
Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Tammy Abraham could still be set for loan moves ahead of a variety of European transfers windows closing on August 31, as Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has recently admitted that he still feels his squad is too big.
The Blues have over 30 players on loan already and they have used their innovative loan system to help them to save and make money during an era in which transfer fees have sky-rocketed.
Chelsea are experts in scouting, both at home and overseas, resulting in the club attracting some of the world’s most exciting youngsters to their top-class facilities at Cobham Training Centre, another contributing factor in their remarkable success in youth competitions in recent years.
