Are Chelsea going for the best young players?
Former Chelsea striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink speaking on Sky Sports Premier League:“That is the intent of the new owners. They want young, exciting and the best young players here and they’re looking for the future. But you also need players who can come in and make the team better straight away, who can wear and handle the shirt and win games.
“The mentality can’t change overnight as they have been spoiled for many years where they have won so many trophies and the fans will expect that still. To get that balance right, you need to have both. You can’t just have young players and wait for the future.
“You need players who have Premier League experience, players who have won medals. [Look at] what Arsenal have done with Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko, what Manchester United have done with Casemiro. That’s what they need to do. You need that at Chelsea, two or three players.”
