From the start of the 2026/27 season, Chelsea’s Under-21s and Under-19s squads will be known as Cobham Next Gen (CNG) under head coach Harry Hudson.
The new name more accurately reflects the age profile of our leading Academy side and Chelsea’s long-standing heritage of developing the next generation of players for the senior game. While the squad competed in Premier League 2 as an Under-21s side, its average age last season was closer to that of an Under-18s group, with several players as young as 16 years old featuring regularly.

🚨🗣️ Michael Owen: "I'm a huge (Joao) Pedro fan, I think he’s unbelievable."
"In fact, @ManchesterUnited should have bought him about four years ago when he was at Watford."
"United had nobody up front for years and I thought, 'That Pedro', I love him. Him, Morgan Rogers and Cole Palmer as a front three… strange signings in Danny Welbeck and Jordan Henderson obviously."

🚨🔵 Morgan Rogers:
"I can play in a number of positions and that's probably a strength of mine."
"I can adapt and give managers a different outlook on different positions. I've always grown up being that way. Understanding the game and learning the game and enjoying it and loving it as much as I do, I never wanted to be bogged down to one position or one attribute. Being versatile helps me."
🚨🔵 Morgan Rogers:
"Pressure brings excitement."
"I think if you're not playing for anything, that excitement, that buzz, that feeling, isn't there. To play with that pressure and that feeling is only going to help."
"I'm looking forward to it. I'm excited. I let other people talk about stuff like that off the pitch."
"I'm just going to show what I can do on the pitch and why I'm here and why I should be here, and how I can influence and help the team and impact games. That’s all I'm here to do."

🚨🇵🇹 Pedro Neto, one to watch soon as he remains on @Hilal_Al list with two more options and @Tottenhm list only if Savinho doesn’t happen.
@Manchester_City made contact weeks ago but consider him too expensive.

🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Chelsea’s ownership structure is facing uncertainty as Mark Walter and Todd Boehly consider selling their minority stakes to Clearlake Capital.
· Walter and Boehly, who each own 12.83%, are reportedly in talks to sell their shares to Clearlake, Chelsea’s majority owner.
· Clearlake currently holds a 61.5% stake, and a deal would give the investment firm even greater control over the club.
