Youth players with biggest potentials?

[Leif 6,006]

Loads. But the only ones I think who'll actually ever play a significant role for us are Chalobah at a huge stretch, Kalas at a biggish stretch, and McEachran at a big stretch.

Cannot see anyone else in our academy making it here, regardless how talented they are.

Then of course there's Courtois who many are mentioning, but he's not exactly a 'youth player' since he's playing for one of Europe's top clubs every week.

[Chelsea? 892]

I thought kalas was loaned out and had no chance here. What position he play?

[Yasser 63]

also Tod Kane he's a big talent!

[JDY 1,290]

Biggest potential? Charly Musonda Jr. for sure.

Jeremie Boga IMO is the current youngster with the best potential here. Still a schoolboy, and has done very well for the U18, done well in the next gen series and has played excellently when he has stepped in the U21s. Is like a Messi when he is on the ball, exciting talent!

[didierforever 7,349]

mceachran, bruma, piazon, kane, ake for now...

[CHOULO19 24,332]

For me Chalobah has to be the most likely to make it here atm. Of course a lot depends on his attitude, but to be key player in a good championship side at the mere age of 18 is something, especially that the position he plays in usually requires a lot of experience.

Piazon comes second. He has excellent technical abilities and the club seem to have great faith in him and are willing to give him a full chance. I was very impressed by his movement during the preseason tour. I still believe his best position is as a second striker and not on the wing.

Feruz comes in third. He seems to built for the EPL. He has speed, strength and stamina. His movement is good but needs to work on his finish, imo. I think a loan would tell us more about Islam, but he is definitely a great talent.

Lots of other excellent talents, but with a team like Chelsea, betting on youngsters is always a long shot. The most obvious two would be Josh and Ake. There are also some great younger prospects like Charly Musonda and Ruben Loftus-Cheek but they still have a long road in front of them.

Will anyone ever really break through from our academy? We still only have Bertrand who is on the fringe of making it. I question the ability of our Academy staff to develop the young talent we have.

[Mufassir08 2,400]

I would say chalobah,kalas and feruz right now.

[Styles 9,790]

Chalobah and Feruz.

[DONI. 1,291]

Ake,Piazon,Feruz and Chalobah for me now

[Waterfall 893]

Boga then Chalobah

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

Chalobah for sure. He'll be in the squad next season or at Prem club at worst.

McEahran maybe. He's doing good on loan but I'm worried he'd be nothing more than a mid-table EPL player. I think he needs 1 or even 2 years on loan in the EPL before he makes it at Chelsea.

Kalas & PVA both have a good chance as early as next year. Especially PVA if Ashley leaves although I think Kalas is the better prospect. Kalas can do a good job at RB and CB.

Piazon has a bright future too, but he def needs to bulk up more. Not sure about him making it tbh. We have a lot of young talent already in his position.

Feruz has shown scary potential but he still has a long road in front of him. He reminds of Defoe, def not Rooney, he's nowhere near as complete of a player.

Some others that have impressed me are Billy Clifford, Ake, Blackman, Charly Musonda & Boga. Too early to predict these guys imo. But I think Blackman will make it, just cause he'll take up a homegrown spot and he's not that bad either.

[Stats 7,060]

mceachran, bruma, piazon, kane, ake for now...

Sadly, due to injuries which has limited his first team opportunites at Hamburg, I don't think he has much of a future here although I like him really much as a player.

[Weckerz 3,781]

Probably too early to judge, but Musonda Jr can turn out great. Piazon and Chalobah for now.

Someone mentioned Thorgan Hazard; I would be REALLY surprised if he'd make it here.
