CHELSEA is preparing to field a super 100-point squad.
Additionally, Todd Boehly might make a bid to add Sporting Lisbon as his second feeder team.
The Blues are currently in their second season under American co-owner Behdad Eghbali, who took over last year after Roman Abramovich was acquired for £4.25 billion.
By any club’s standards, their first season was a catastrophic failure. Chelsea went through FOUR pitch-side managers before choosing Mauricio Pochettino.
The Blues finished 12th in the league with just 11 victories.
However, Boehly and Eghbali won’t be overly concerned for the time being as they carry on with their plan to create a team that is capable of scoring 100 points per season.
The pair are committed to become Chelsea the league’s hegemonic force.
They think they can cultivate and nurture a winning culture that will eventually produce a record-breaking team by signing the best young players now.
Only Manchester City has ever accumulated 100 points; they did so in the 2017–18 campaign with 32 victories and just two losses.
With well over £1 billion spent in only three transfer windows to assemble a team with an average age of just 23, Chelsea is undoubtedly demonstrating that they are investing for the future.
The owners are always considering what that 100 point team looks like, a source told the Telegraph.
“And putting the right players together who will make that 100 point team.”
With players like Enzo Fernandez, Mykhailo Mudryk, and Moises Caicedo signed to eight-year contracts, it is currently unclear if Boehly and Eghbali made the proper star investments.
Chelsea will keep fostering young players outside of the first-team group in the interim by possibly signing players from another feeder team.
Owners of the Blues have already taken over Strasbourg of France, lending them Brazilian winger Angelo.
They are now aiming for Sporting Lisbon, a team that has won the Portuguese league 19 times and offers a greater stage for young players to grow.
Chelsea also want to renovate Stamford Bridge to reflect their growth both on and off the field.
Due to the location and size of the site, the process has so far proven to be challenging.
If expanding Chelsea’s home since 1905 proves to be impossible, Boehly and Eghbali aren’t scared to hunt for another piece of land.
The two believe they “have an asset unlike any other in sport” and intend to “maximise” all Chelsea’s economic opportunities.
Prior to Sunday’s match against Bournemouth, supporters are currently looking for a turnaround in outcomes.
However, given the significant investment that has already been made, it might take some time for the seeds to mature.
