Kenyon targets English

Kenyon targets English

11 November 2008 - 02:54

Chelsea boss Peter Kenyon is targeting English players for the club from now on. It is understood that the reason behind the club sacking 15 players was so that they can focus more on their local policy.

  • Predicted Chelsea line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Aston Villa, Palmer starts
  • Chelsea suffer double injury blow ahead of Villa trip

  • "Realigning the scouting system was about looking at where we want to be," he said. "We've made a commitment to having the core of our team English; we are developing our youth.



    "The rules from Uefa on home-grown players and Fifa's proposal for 6+5 puts a real onus on clubs to develop their own talent much more fully. With that comes a lot of benefits, and so we looked at our scouting programme to be more focused."
