“It is (a dream). It is as easy as that, it is full of quality coaches and quality leaders and the guys who come from the academy onto our pitch are all of the same, made from the same spirit, same attitude, humble guys, who know what it is to play for Chelsea, know what it takes to be serious, to be humble, and there is no problem in being a nice guy and still playing a hard match of football and a serious match of football.”

The Champions League winners are known for producing quality players from their academy and they would be hoping to produce more talent to help them with their challenge to more silverware.

Chelsea are set to face Southampton in the English League Cup at Stamford Bridge in the next game and follows it up by facing Newcastle United on the road in the league. Given the good form we are on, the Blues could solidify their hold at the top of the table.
