Jake Clarke-Salter is one of several Chelsea youngsters plying their trade in Bristol, with the young centre-half currently playing for Bristol Rovers.

Clarke-Salter, despite being just 19-years-old, is quickly emerging as one of the Chelsea developmental system’s hottest talents – with a first team role an inevitability in the future.

He has already made 1 appearance for the Chelsea first team, in a game against Aston Villa earlier this year, but his current loan move looks to be the making of him.

His return to Chelsea could time perfectly with John Terry’s contract expiry – and he is arguably the heir-apparent to Terry in the Blues’ developmental system.
