​Hiddink: Young trio can save Chelsea cash in transfer window

Interim Chelsea coach Guus Hiddink believes youngsters Bertrand Traore, Kenedy and Ruben Loftus-Cheek will save the club a fortune in the next transfer window, reports the London Evening Standard.

Hiddink has given the three 20‑year-olds more opportunities to play since taking over in December.

But when asked if the trio can help ease some pressure on the club's spending, Hiddink told Standard Sport: "Yes. They are all good enough to be useful members of the squad next season.

"I think it is difficult to have them already as key players like a Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard or John Terry. They must be an addition to a good team."
