Chelsea, the jewel of the soccer world, has been known as the "United Nations team" in the past 20 years, not only because of the buying strategy of the former owner Abramovich and the current owner Poli, but also because of the difficulty of local players to find their way out of such heavy spending. However, the situation has changed dramatically this season, with two rising stars, Gunnar Gallica and Golpenma, lighting up the Blues' future like bright stars, and they may join hands to beat Crystal Palace, who deserve the credit for the victory this campaign.
After taking over Chelsea two years ago, Poli started to expand his squad, signing two midfielders, Ansel Fernandes and Moses Scarcitto, for more than 100 million pounds. However, Galpenma, who moved to Chelsea from Manchester City last summer, is undoubtedly one of the brightest stars in terms of performance. The 21-year-old youngster contributed two key assists in stoppage time against Crystal Palace, and has scored 16 times in the Premier League this season, including 10 goals and 6 assists, making him the team's top scorer. What's even more amazing is that his transfer fee was just £40 million (about HK$400 million), making him Chelsea's most cost-effective acquisition in recent years.
