European & FA Cup Champions:
The Blues have followed up their UEFA Youth League triumph by winning the FA Youth Cup for the third time in a row - surely now their talented youngsters got a first-team chance

Chelsea ran out 3-1 winners against Manchester City on Wednesday night to secure their third FA Youth Cup title in a row. It's been a pretty special month for the Blues' young stars, with Joe Edwards' side having already claimed European glory after beating PSG over two legs.

Antonio Conte will join the club in July after Euro 2016 and simply has to take a close look at these U1 after these young Blues have largely been ignored by his counterpart Jose Mourinho.

A fifth FA Youth Cup final appearance in a row matches Manchester United's dominant run in the competition from 1953-57 - by the famous Busby Babes - but Chelsea's kids have struggled to make the breakthrough in the first team at Stamford Bridge.

Apart from Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who was dropped for the Blues' 4-1 win over Bournemouth, the talented crop of youngsters being nurtured at the club's Cobham training ground have found it almost impossible to get a look-in.

The jokes have been flying around social media that this was a great result for Chelsea's Dutch feeder club Vitesse Arnhem, who currently possess the homegrown English talents of Isaiah Brown, Lewis Baker and Dominic Solanke.

The latter only has one year left on his contract at the club and is reportedly asking for £50,000 a week and assurances that he will be played in Chelsea's first team after seeing others not being given a chance.

The lack of chances for the club's youth-team stars has been a cause of frustration for the club's fans, who have seen the likes of Marcus Rashford and Cameron Borthwick-Jackson excel at Manchester United, while Kelechi Iheanacho is an academy graduate who is flourishing at City.

Throw in the likelihood that John Terry, the club's biggest homegrown success story, will leave the club when his contract expires in under two months and it's easy to see why supporters are getting increasingly angered at the situation.

This is the dilemma for Chelsea; they want guaranteed success with senior players but after such a dreadful 2015-16 campaign, surely now is the time to give youth its chance.

Tammy Abraham scored the goal that killed Man City off in Youth Cup final, a striker that takes him to 26 for the season.

Under the Jose Mourinho regime he is one that will have surely been farmed out on loan, even with his terrific goal record, rather than being allowed to show what he can do in the first team.

And the talent isn't just on show in attack. Centre-back Jake Salter-Clarke captained the side and demonstrated not only power and positional awareness but great ball-playing ability. He is another that Conte must take a look at.

The list goes on. Mukhtar Ali was another who impressed, spraying 40-yard passes across the pitch with consummate ease. The midfielder signed his first professional contract back in October 2014 and now's the time for him to be given a taste of life in the first team.

Every member of this FA Youth Cup winning side are eligible to play for England. For all the negativity around the national team and an apparent lack of star quality coming through, there could well be a goldmine of talent at Stamford Bridge. They just need to be given a chance. Over to you, Mr Conte.
