Chelsea fans will be excited to see their club moving once again to sign some of the most exciting young players in the world, with the west London giants really stepping up their recruitment since the club was purchased by Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali.
It will take some time for Mauricio Pochettino to turn this team into the winning machine they used to be for so much of the Roman Abramovich era, but it certainly seems like the right building blocks are being put in place for the future.
Diong looks another huge talent with a big future and it will be interesting to see what he can achieve once he breaks into the Chelsea first-team.
