To be considered as homegrown, one has to play 3 years between the age of 16 and 21. Fábregas is homegrown too, but Englishman Eric Dier is not HG as he played in Sporting as a youngster.

Quote

Nathaniel Chalobah has revealed he always believed he would get a chance at Chelsea and is focused on working hard to get more opportunities in the first team.The 21-year-old was one of three home-grown products to come off the bench in our 3-0 win against Leicester, making his third appearance of the campaign, and he provided a sublime assist for Victor Moses to score our third goal of the game.Chalobah had six loan moves before making his debut earlier this season and he says he is now benefiting from the experience he gained with other clubs.

‘I’ve had a lot of loans – some that were good and some that were bad – but out of all the loans I’ve had, I’ve tried to learn as much as I could from them and I think that’s helping me now,’ he said.‘If you’re a youngster at Chelsea you always have to believe you are good enough, however many loans you have, because you never know what might happen. If you work hard, keep believing and at the right time you’re in the right place, you get your chance.‘I think the manager is trying to give all the young players and Academy graduates an opportunity. At the minute everybody at the club is working together and doing the best we can.‘I hope I get more chances. All I can do is try and do my best in training and see what happens.’

On the back heel which put Victor Moses clean through to wrap up the points against the Foxes, he said:  ‘I didn’t think it would come off as perfect as that, but that was the idea. I’m really happy for Victor to get the goal and for the team to get the win.’Chalobah believes the level of performance we produced against the reigning champions is what the Blues have to look to deliver week in, week out

‘That intensity is what the manager is looking for and that’s what the lads are trying to portray out there,’ he said. ‘It’s been good working with him, seeing the way he does things and I think all the boys are enjoying playing under him.’

Needs to be ahead of Oscar now. Far superior player

I don't know how Oscar makes it back into the starting 11 regularly. I think it's over. Looks like it could be time for Oscar, Mikel and Fabregas to leave. 

Seems to me Conte knows what he's doing but Chelsea have put themselves so far behind in terms of building a quality squad that it will take some time in future transfer windows and with the young players to really get this squad right from fullbacks, centre backs to centre mids and on to the attackers. oh, and there's the GK it seems.

In terms of competition regulations, the type of player you are talking about is described as "Club Trained".

According to reports Chalobah is to be offer a new deal 

[manpe 10,861]

Chalobah, an academy graduate, playing 20 minutes against Manchester United. Is this Chelsea I'm watching? Obviously quite raw still, but I don't remember the last time I saw something like this... not a bought in youngster, but an academy player playing significant portion in one of the most high pressure games of the season.

Did some skills and nutmegs as well. Did not think Chalobah was that kind of a player!

Yeah, today when I saw that I was thinking to myself that the first time I saw him playing for the first team was some years ago in pre-season as CB and he gave a horrible pass to the opponent  Totally different player now. Evolution is strong with this one.

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

Hopefully he gets a start on Wednesday vs the Hammers. 

So happy to see him playing for us and that Conte has taken a liking to him. 

Long may his progression as a serious CM option continue.

He's always been quite skilful - if you ever watched youth football when Nate was there you'd have seen him do these type of things. It's why he got moved up from CB to CM. Not really a part of his game that's evolved. I feel like with Nate we're just scratching the surface here. Loving that he's getting game time under Antonio, looks like he has a future here.

I used to watch youth games now and then when I had Chelsea TV back in the day (still don't know how that was possible, it magically just was in telly). Not anymore, which is a shame.
