Official statement: Chelsea's bold call on their reserve team

Chelsea have decided to rename their U21 and U19 teams. They will now be called “Cobham Next Gen”.

Cobham is the name of the Blues’ prestigious academy, located in Surrey, southwest of London, and considered one of the best in Europe. Chelsea hope to build on this iconic brand to give new momentum to their youth teams.

The U21 team currently plays in Premier League 2 and is often involved in the title race.

In the current first-team squad, two true Cobham products in particular play an important role: Reece James and Levi Colwill.
