Chelsea boast one of the most envied academies in world football at the moment, with a number of their rising stars developing into genuine first-team options under Thomas Tuchel.
There are also plenty of Blues tyros out on loan at the moment who will be seeking to follow in the footsteps of players like Mason Mount, Reece James, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Trevor Chalobah.
One of the most intriguing young players Chelsea have shipped out is 20-year-old forward Armando Broja.
The striker joined the Chelsea academy from Tottenham in 2009 and has impressed at youth level for the Stamford Bridge club, with some supporters noting a similarity between him and Diego Costa due to his physicality, aggression and eye for goal.
Last season he was sent out to Vitesse on loan, where he scored 10 times in 30 Eredivisie outings. This season, Southampton decided to bring him in on a temporary basis, following fellow Chelsea academy graduate Tino Livramento to the south coast; the defender joined Saints on a permanent basis.
