Hi Ed02.

Awhile back there was an article saying that Chelsea was going to sign Diego Moreira from Benfica.

Is that still the case.

Thanks in advance.

{Ed002's Note - Diego Moreira (LW)/RW/AM) Benfica youngster on Chelsea's Vision 2030 list of players. Interest of PSG and Milan went nowhere. Recommended by an ex-player.}

What is a vision list? How does Chelsea's vision list work?

{Ed002's Note - Chelsea has a Vision 2030 list of young players they want player in the first twam in 7 years time.}

Chelsea borrowing ideas from Mohammed Bin Salman now are they? Vision 2030 was a Saudi initiative to diversify the country's economy.

Chelsea need some new ideas!

{Ed002's Note - The seven year vision process has been running at Chelsea for more than 10 years.}

Have there been any successes so far Ed? Ie players on the early vision lists that went on to play regular first team football. Presumably the likes of James and Mount aren’t included given they were academy products.

{Ed002's Note - They were included and there have been many successes.}

Cheers Ed, would be interested to hear the signed players that fit that criteria, Christensen and maybe Lukaku are the only ones that I can think of off the top of my head that fit the criteria of young talents that have gone on to play reasonably regular first team football with a big caveat for Lukaku. It’s very promising that we look that far ahead and see the big picture, though short termism has often worked to our detriment in recent years.
