[Saba Sports News] According to British media reports, Chelsea’s new recruitment strategy has made youth players in the club eager to leave. If Chelsea continues in this manner, the departure of 16-year-old talent Rio Ngumoha to Liverpool will just be the beginning. Ngumoha’s move to Liverpool is a heavy blow for Chelsea, as those who have seen him believe he is a new generation of talented players. A source stated that due to the first team’s recruitment strategy, youth players feel they are not trusted by the club. Regarding this, the source said: “These young players feel they have no way out; they feel a bit lost and no longer believe they will have a chance to enter the first team.” It is worth mentioning that Chelsea tends to sign two players for the same position during the transfer window. In contrast, Manchester City and Liverpool have clear pathways and development methods for their youth players. Currently, many players feel they will become tools for the club to resolve PSR issues, just like Conor Gallagher.
