The year is 2012. Chelsea Football Club is on top of the world.
Or at least, they are on top of Europe, for sure. They have just
won their first-ever Champions League trophy, and you really
can’t tell them anything!

The story behind Chelsea’s first Champions League win involves
many factors. But today, we focus on their scouting.
In addition to their academy which has produced and
keeps producing brilliant players, the scouts employed at Chelsea
do a great job of bringing some of the best players over to
Stamford Bridge.

And 3 of their greatest players, Drogba, Lampard, and Peter Cech,
who were all scouted from different clubs, are proof of this.
And these scouts very nearly pulled off a scouting
masterstroke in 2012 when they discovered wonderkid Mbappe before
anyone really even knew of him.
