With the club’s track record of nurturing South American gems like Estevao and Paez, he’d fit right in. He’s a smart, exciting signing with a huge ceiling.

Now, the attention needs to turn to the summer transfer window to see if Chelsea are successful in signing Subiabre. All in all, it would be a good signing for the Blues, who can grow and serve the club for a long time in the future.
