As we look ahead to the 2030s, Chelsea’s squad could feature a blend of promising young talents and experienced players all under contract well into the next decade. Here’s a speculative look at how Chelsea might line up in six years, based on current players and emerging talents:
**Formation: 4-3-3**
**Goalkeeper:**
– **Kepa Arrizabalaga** or **Gabriel Slonina**: Both are potential long-term options, with Slonina’s development indicating he could be the future number one.
**Defenders:**
– **Right Back**: **Reece James** – His ongoing contract and leadership make him a staple in the right-back position.
– **Centre Back**: **Wesley Fofana** – His potential and current form suggest he’ll be a key part of the defense.
– **Centre Back**: **Levi Colwill** – Another young talent expected to mature into a top defender.
– **Left Back**: **Ian Maatsen** – Having shown promise, Maatsen could become a regular starter.
**Midfielders:**
– **Defensive Midfield**: **Enzo Fernández** – His contract and skill set position him as a central figure in midfield.
– **Central Midfield**: **Conor Gallagher** – Known for his energy and versatility, Gallagher might be a central presence.
– **Attacking Midfield**: **Carney Chukwuemeka** – Expected to develop into a key playmaker over the coming years.
**Forwards:**
– **Right Wing**: **Noni Madueke** – His flair and potential could make him a vital attacking threat.
– **Striker**: **Armando Broja** – If he continues his development, Broja could be a leading goal-scorer.
– **Left Wing**: **Mason Mount** – Should he remain at Chelsea, Mount’s creativity and work rate will be invaluable on the left.
