Here we take a look at what Enzo Maresca’s future Chelsea team could look like by forming a starting XI consisting of players at the club aged 22 and under
Chelsea are very much planning for the years ahead when it comes to their transfer business. The Blues, now with Enzo Maresca as head coach after replacing Mauricio Pochettino in the hotseat, have been rather active in the transfer market so far this summer.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has followed Maresca to Chelsea from Leicester and centre-back Tosin Adarabioyo has made the short move across west London after departing Fulham on a free transfer. Elsewhere, Omari Kellyman and Marc Guiu join from Aston Villa and Barcelona respectively and Estevao Willian will link up with Chelsea next summer from Palmeiras.
Chelsea certainly don’t appear to be done in the transfer market just yet and we could well see a few more additions before the transfer window closes for business at 11pm on Friday, August 30. football.london understands that the Blues are on the verge of signing Renato Veiga from FC Basel for a deal worth around £14million.
The 20-year-old left-sided centre-back is scheduled in for a medical at Cobham before penning a long-term contract with the Blues. football.london also understands Chelsea have agreed a £17million deal with Boca Juniors for young defender Aaron Anselmino.
Chelsea are indeed building a team for the future and the hope will be that all these exciting youngsters that have signed on the dotted line in recent seasons can go on to star for the first team. So what exactly could a future Chelsea XI look like?
Focusing on the players at the club who are 22 and under at present, we at football.london have put together a starting XI below.
