It’s not often youngsters hit out at the club they are trying to make a career at however…
Bertrand Traore has hit out at his parent club claiming youngsters need to be given a chance and integrated into the Chelsea first team.
The Blues have sent a whopping 38 players below the age of 23 out on loan to numerous clubs around the world.
Out on loan currently to Ajax he scored four goals in 16 appearances last season under temporary manager Guus Hiddink for Chelsea.
It was expected he would be in Conte’s squad this season.
Traore feels he has developed and matured enough to be called up to Contes setup, however, it is reported Conte want’s him to develop further first.
Speaking out about the situation Bertrand had this to say:
“I felt, and feel, that I am ready for Chelsea,” said Traore. “I did not see the loan coming and overall picture. Why did I play so much in pre-season? “Why was I allowed to participate so often under Guus Hiddink [last season]? Why do young players get no real chance at Chelsea?“It’s good for the composition of the squad if it is also home to a couple of talented youngsters,” he went on to add.
