One former Chelsea star believes that Chelsea are in for a shot of winning the Premier League title and others are copying them.
Not everyone will share this opinion or has shared it for quite some time, and many Chelsea fans are still yet to be convinced by the current project and recruitment model being used at the club.
EXCLUSIVE! When Cole Palmer is expected to return to the Chelsea squad – plans laid out!
However, there are also many out there who are backing it and believe it is a very good model and it will bring success back to the club over a sustained period.
I think it has some big positives about it, but it also has some flaws too. I do think that overall, Chelsea have built a strong squad right now even if it could still very much be strengthened in certain areas.
But former Chelsea star Claude Makelele is backing the project and he also says that he sees others now copying Chelsea’s model, it is THAT good!
Makelele on Chelsea
In an interview with The Sun this week, Makelele said:
“In the beginning, nobody believed in the project, with so many young players. People were worried about not being able to win the Premier League.
“Now, many teams want to copy Chelsea by buying young players. I think they are understanding now, they could be fighting for this title.”
