4. Bertrand Traore

Bertrand Traore is the future of the Chelsea FC attack. He is only 20 years old and right now a lot of Chelsea fans are hoping he can step into a starting role in a couple of years. Traore recently came off a loan spell from Vitesse and finally spend a full year at Chelsea FC as the backup to both Diego Costa and Loic Remy.

The youngster got some playing time as he scored 4 goals in a Chelsea shirt this season. With Remy likely out the door and the talk about Costa going back to Spain, the time for Traore to shine could be now.

But it all depends if new manager Antonio Conte has some faith in the youngster. At Juventus, Conte put faith in a young Alvaro Morata and Paul Pogba and it paid dividends as both became pretty good players with Pogba being one of the top five young stars in football. Traore has the talent to be good but he has to play and show he’s got what it takes to make it at Chelsea.

He is still young at the age of 20. Maybe Chelsea could move him out on loan for one more year so he can prove his worth but then it’s probably judgement day on Traore.
