da pixbet： Chelsea have warned clubs that they will not loan out their youth players unless they are guaranteed regular football, reports The Mirror.
What’s the story?
da betsson： Following England’s triumph at the Under-20 World Cup, a number of Chelsea’s young guns are believed to be wanted by a handful of clubs.
The Mirror claims that Fikayo Tomori and Jake Clarke-Salter, both of whom performed in the tournament in Korea, are being eyed.
Tammy Abraham, Ola Aina, Nathaniel Chalobah and Jay Dasilva are also believed to be among the Chelsea youth players catching the attention of other clubs.
In most cases, Premier League clubs are happy to loan out their developing stars to Championship outfits or destinations abroad, but it seems that Chelsea are getting strict.
According to The Mirror, the West London outfit are keen for their crop of youth talent to gain first-team experience, so will only allow a loan move if the players are guaranteed starts.
Will this approach help or hinder?
In the past, Chelsea have failed to bring youth players into the first team, with managers opting instead to spend large fees on proven talent.
The Blues have a vast number of players in their academy, the majority of which have had various spells on loan but continue to struggle to get a chance at their parent club.
It seems that Chelsea are now giving more of a priority to the progress of their developing players, and it is understandable why after they won a fourth consecutive FA Youth Cup in April.
The Blues’ new approach regarding their loan policy is positive for the youngsters, some of which rarely get played when they join other clubs temporarily.
The only downside is that it may prevent clubs from sealing a deal if they cannot guarantee regular football, which would limit the players’ loan options.
