They have been linked with the signings of Claudio Echeverri, Agustin Ruberto and Ian Subiabre after their recent impressive performances at the U-17 World Cup.

It is not the first time that Chelsea have been linked with youngsters who have recently shown their promise in the tournament.

Echeverri and Ruberto are reportedly set to be available from as early as January, meaning they could be the next stars of the future to be on the move to Stamford Bridge.

Under the ownership of Todd Boehly, there has been an impotence placed on signing some of the players with the most potential before they are snapped up by one of their rivals.

The highlight addition up to now has been Kendry Paez, although he is not able to join up with the Blues until 2025.

Despite that, the teenager has already established himself as a regular starter for Ecuador alongside Moises Caicedo, setting all sorts of records along the way.

If reports are true, they could be about to sign three more of the world’s most promising players, with them having some recent success when looking at players who have featured for River Plate.

Enzo Fernandez was not with the Argentinian side for long before he got his move to Europe.

He later ended up at Chelsea for what at the time was a club-record fee, where he is continuing to show he is one of the best in his position in the world.
