Chelsea transfer policy left one glaring hole and it is clear to see every week

Wait 5 sec.

Chelsea’s transfer policy proves they are preparing for the future, but there’s just one issue.They appear to be forgetting about the here and now.Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali have spent heavily since taking over at Stamford Bridge, but have they spent wisely?GettyThe Blues boast the youngest average age of players used in the Premier League this term at 23.5, a full year younger than Sunderland who have the second-youngest squad (24.7).It’s a statistic that comes as no surprise given the oldest player Chelsea have signed since the 2023/24 season was Tosin Adarabioyo, who was aged 26 when he moved.The trend continued last summer as Chelsea’s nine permanent arrivals were all aged 23 or under, with Joao Pedro the marquee signing having joined in a £60million deal.Even though Chelsea‘s baby-faced stars possess plenty of silky skills, especially teenage wizard Estevao, there is precious little they can do when facing physically imposing rivals.
