For too long it was all about short-term gain and instant success at Stamford Bridge, but finally there seems to be a plan in place with a firm focus on the future.
A staggering 41 players were shipped out on loan last summer – with many of those questioning whether they’d ever get a first-team chance at Chelsea – who play Brighton live on talkSPORT 2 this Saturday.
But now, with club legend Frank Lampard at the helm, those youngsters who are good enough will get an opportunity to impress.
Fikayo Tomori, Mason Mount and Tammy Abraham have already made a big impact for the Blues, with the latter scoring seven goals in his last five appearances in all competitions.
Reece James, who contributed two assists and a goal on his senior debut in the 7-1 drubbing of Grimsby on Wednesday night, is also primed to make the right-back spot his own sooner rather than later.
There are also high hopes for 18-year-old midfielder Billy Gilmour, who ran the show in the Carabao Cup encounter.
Lampard’s matchday squad included 10 academy graduates, four of whom started against the League Two side.
