Chelsea’s recruitment team are still seemingly insistent on signing teenage talents for the first team going forward.
And when it comes to replacing veteran defender Thiago Silva, they are apparently now targeting an 18-year-old to do that job, which is frankly quite absurd.
EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea scout Newcastle player this week and meet with Toon owners – Chelsea’s owners share a good relationship with Newcastle’s owners, and it could lead to some business!
Don’t get me wrong, Leny Yoro is a fantastic player and a super great talent, but he is still just a young teen.
The Evening Standard are reporting that Chelsea are interested in a summer move for talented young Lille centre-back Leny Yoro as they weigh up defensive options to replace Thiago Silva.
Yoro has enjoyed a brilliant season in France and the 18-year-old is also attracting interest from other big European clubs including Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid.
Silva will be leaving Chelsea at the end of the season when his contract runs out and despite what people might think about him right now and his contributions at the age of almost 40, his boots will be VERY big to fill regardless.
