SPANISH SCOUT SOL: CHELSEA YOUTH SYSTEM ENVY OF WORLD

"They have collaborators in all the countries across Europe and America - in fact they have them all over the world. Chelsea are a giant and any player would aspire to play for them. Roman Abramovich's money has changed everything and it's easier to work with so much backing.

"In Chelsea's academy they have players of all nationalities. I'm searching for the most promising Spanish players.

"Everyone knows about star players but the aim is to discover lads aged 15 on the way up before everyone else.

"Sometimes you see surprises at small clubs, a youth that catches your eye.

"You have to be there first to spot them because the market is very controlled by the big clubs and it's rare that a talent escapes unnoticed."
 Chelsea's high-profile Spanish scout Juan Sol says their youth system will soon be the envy of the world.

Sol is working closely with Chelsea chief Frank Arnesen to uncover Spain's brightest prospects and has already sent former Espanyol midfielder Sergio Tejera to London.
 
He told The Sun: "Chelsea have a wonderful organization, very much like the clubs in Spain. Above all, they are people who really live football.
