Chelsea have one of the best academies in the world and their impact on the football pyramid has been far-reaching. However, not all players that come up through Cobham go on to make it and the pathway to the first-team has been blurry during Roman Abramovich’s reign.

Chelsea’s forgotten star Kenedy has been given another shot at resurrecting his dwindling career by manager Thomas Tuchel.The Brazilian winger, 25, has been included in the Blues’ Premier League squad for the first time since 2018 and is training with the first team after being recalled from his loan spell at Flamengo in January.Kenedy was tipped for big things when he signed for £6.3million as a teenager in 2015, but his career lost momentum while he was repeatedly sent out on loans to the likes of Watford, Newcastle, Getafe and Grenada.But Tuchel believes the player is now ready for a return despite his last competitive game for Chelsea coming against Norwich four years ago.When asked whether Kenedy was being given another chance to prove himself, the German claimed the talent is being presented with a “huge opportunity”.He said: “Absolutely a clean slate. Yes, I cannot agree more.

Chelsea progressed into the fifth round of the FA Cup with a 2-1 victory over League One side Plymouth Argyle after extra time - but it wasn’t all smooth sailing for the Blues.Marcos Alonso came off the bench to score the winner in the 107th minute after he slotted home after a neat passing move by the Premier League outfit.There was a sense of relief as the full time whistle sounded, especially considering the away side took the lead through Macauley Gillespie in the 8th minute when the defender rose above Romelu Lukaku to guide a header past Kepa Arrizabalaga.Chelsea then equalised through captain Cesar Azpilicueta backheeled a smart finish from a cross from Callum Hudson-Odoi into the far corner four minutes before the half time break.The victory felt inevitable in extra time, though more so because Plymouth ran out of steam rather than Thomas Tuchel’s side upping the ante.However, the wheels almost fell off of the bus in the 115th minute after Malang Sarr made an error on the edge of his own box before bringing down Ryan Hardie in the penalty area, but his spot kick was saved.Tuchel wasn’t present at Stamford Bridge as he tested positive for Covid-19 on Friday, though he was still in charge of the team from his home.So, what did the former PSG boss get right and wrong on the day?HAVE YOUR SAY! Who will win the FA Cup? Comment below.Despite Reece James now seemingly the first choice right-back at Chelsea, it hasn’t prevented Azpilicueta from proving why he deserves a contract extension at the club in the Englishman's absence.The Spaniard was an ever-present threat for the Blues, providing width and thus allowing Hakim Ziyech to cut on to his more favoured left foot without it narrowing the play.But it was the

Romelu Lukaku has been blasted by fans online for his lacklustre marking that led to Plymouth Argyle to go 1-0 up against Chelsea. In the FA Cup Fourth Round at Stamford Bridge, the Pilgrims opened the scoring when Macaulay Gillesphey nodded them in front on eight minutes after he latched onto a free-kick.Subsequent replays, however, showed that it was Lukaku who was supposed to be marking the defender, and it looked as though the 28-year-old hardly jumped in an attempt to win the ball.Blues fans fumed online, saying that the Belgian was being ‘weak’ for not defending the ball well.One supporter wrote: “Lukaku weak as s*** there.”Another raged: “Incredibly weak from Lukaku.”Someone wrote: “Ffs….

Manchester United are reportedly leading the chase to sign Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo with a 'large investment' in the works.Araujo, 22, has featured heavily this season for both the Catalan club and his country Uruguay, who he has seven caps for.Now into the final 18 months of his contract at the Camp Nou, he is attracting the attention of some of Europe's top clubs.Marca claim he is receiving most interest from the Premier League.And at the moment it is the Red Devils who are said to be 'bidding the strongest' for his signature to bolster their ranks.They are willing to splash the cash on him as he seems to be a centre-back who will dominate for years to come.However, their Prem rivals Man City and Chelsea are also both keen on Araujo.In fact, Pep Guardiola was this week pictured having dinner with his agent Edmundo Kabchi.Thomas Tuchel, meanwhile, may have to replace three defenders in Antonio Rudiger, Andreas Christensen and Cesar Azpilicueta this summer. Where should United spend their money this summer? Let us know in the comments section. For their part, Barca want to tie Araujo down to a new contract, but have struggled to do so thus far.They opened talks with his representatives all the way back before the pandemic.But the financial issues they've since ran into has prevented them from wrapping up the piece of business.They have now somewhat relieved their money problem by cutting down their wage bill considerably.However, Araujo turned down their recent offer of a new and improved deal.Resolving his renewal is one of the La Liga side's priorities, and they are encouraged by the fact that he is eager to stay where he is.Whether they can match his financial demands or United can beat them remains to be

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has reportedly set eyes on an ideal summer replacement for Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen.Christensen and Rudiger are both out of contract at the end of June, and if their situation is not resolved in the coming months, it could force Tuchel to start looking at replacements. As luck would have it, the German has reportedly started doing just that, with Spanish outlet AS claiming he has already suggested a number of possible alternatives to the club's board.

Saul Niguez has confessed he felt dizzy and disorientated when he first joined Chelsea - because he hadn't learned the lingo!But after a crash course in English from his team-mates, the Atletico Madrid and Spain star finally feels ready to repay Thomas Tuchel's faith in him.The 27-year-old, who is on loan trying to earn a permanent switch, is starting to find his feet at Stamford Bridge and set to start against Plymouth in the FA Cup this weekend.He said: "In my first match, I was a bit disorientated because I was used to doing things differently and it was a bit strange for me."The truth is it hasn’t been easy but I’m very grateful to my team-mates and the club for making it easier for me to adapt. After training, the Spanish ones can translate for me."But that can also be difficult in the moment if I don’t understand the phrases such as ‘man on’ or ‘time’ myself, or if I don’t know if I’m supposed to turn or not."My English is improving and everything is becoming a bit easier.

Thomas Tuchel has already identified a trio of summer transfer targets to improve his squad after Chelsea ended the winter window without any new arrivals.Having spent heavily last summer with a cool £97.5m deal for Romelu Lukaku, Roman Abramovich was unwilling to loosen the purse strings in January.The Blues' no.1 target was Emerson, a player already on their books, but a compensation fee of £3.3m was rejected by Lyon and the player will now see out the rest of the season at the Groupama Stadium.Though Chelsea did manage to get one Brazilian loanee back through the door, Kenedy has returned prematurely from Flamengo, giving competition for places at left wing-back.Kenedy will now compete with Marcos Alonso for a starting berth after Tuchel was unable to recall compatriot Emerson.The Spaniard has filled in for first choice left-back Ben Chilwell, since the England international's season-ending injury against Juventus, but performances have been below par.The Blues have won just one of their last five Premier League matches, slipping to third in the table and are 10 points behind leaders Manchester City, who also have a game in hand.HAVE YOUR SAY!

ABC, who have claimed that a move to Chelsea is all-but done, after Paris Saint Germain pulled out of a deal to sign the 24-year-old.It was suggested that PSG would sign the Frenchman if they could negotiate a deal to allow one of their stars to move in the other direction, but Barcelona were insistent that they wanted a straight transfer fee of £16m.The report claim that Dembele will undergo a medical ahead of a move to Chelsea with just hours left of the January transfer window, and it could potentially reignite a deal to bring Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to the Nou Camp.Barcelona wanted to re-sign Dembele to a new deal, but due to financial concerns the club wanted the star to take a wage reduction, as fellow Frenchman Samuel Umtiti agreed to do.However, this wasn't well received by Dembele and his team, and Barcelona told the star to find a new club on Deadline Day.It appears that a move to Chelsea is now on the cards, as Thomas Tuchel looks set to make a late addition to what was previously a quiet window at Stamford Bridge.
