With the plethora of first team players that have been bought by the club, it has obscured the path for a number of those who have come through the academy process over a number of years.

Harvey Vale to leave Chelsea in January

One of those is Harvey Vale, who has now spent nine years as a member of the Chelsea squad in some capacity.

Enzo Maresca is reportedly a fan of Vale, and has even given him the chance to impress in the Conference League this season.

However, his future is certainly away from Stamford Bridge, and his departure looks as if it could be confirmed this month.

Kieran Gill has stated that Vale is set to leave the club, with offers from England, Belgium and Holland.

He said: “Harvey Vale nearing permanent exit from Chelsea after being on books since age 12. Has offers from Championship, plus clubs in Belgium/Holland.

“Chelsea willing to waive transfer fee for 21yo to facilitate move this month, with sell-on clause inserted instead.”

Who could sign Harvey Vale from Chelsea?

A number of clubs have been linked with signing the Chelsea man, who has been out on loan numerous times during his time as a senior player.

Sunderland are reportedly keen on bringing in Vale, however there may be interest in Chelsea helping out a club legend.

Frank Lampard is reportedly keen on signing a number of talents from Chelsea, and the Blues would certainly be giving him a hand given the fact that they are prepared to waive his transfer fee.
