It has been a constant criticism of Chelsea in recent years that they do not give enough opportunities to players who come through their academy. Both Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Callum Hudson-Odoi have made excelled in the academy and now have the potential to play for the senior team.

With Chelsea’s transfer ban now in place for the next two windows, there should be a chance for young players to make their mark. There is a raft of talent coming through at Stamford Bridge. Two of the most talented players coming through are midfielder Mason Mount and full-back Reece James, both of whom have a good chance of making the grade at Chelsea.

Lampard has shown at Derby that he is more than willing to give young players an opportunity, and he would be right to do the same at Chelsea. It may not be the most successful ploy in the short term, but in the long term, it could really benefit Chelsea.
