Chelsea love all their bright young tyros who’ve shone so encouragingly this season, right? Sure they do, but splurging the cash is also in the club’s DNA and, having been denied the pleasure of retail therapy due to their transfer ban, they’re sizing up targets with relish when they return to the shops in January.
