Chelsea is currently looking at Finley Cartwright, a midfielder from Middlesborough. The Blues will be looking to strengthen their midfield in the summer after a disastrous season.

Todd Boehly has put an emphasis on signing young talents since joining. Cartwright was born in 2006 and is one of the many names on the list at Chelsea to be brought in to improve the academy of the club.

The Blues have a history of signing players from other academies and strengthening them on loan. However, these youngsters seldom seem to work out and are usually moved on by the club for profit. With Boehly, things might work differently, and a strong emphasis on the youth might help the London club improve in the long run.
