Gary Cahill says Chelsea are excited about their young players coming through to the first-team.

The Blues may have to rely on youth next season if a two-transfer FIFA ban is upheld.

But Cahill thinks they will cope with not being able to sign players due to their young talent.

"To qualify for the Champions League is a great achievement and something that was a target for the lads," he said. "But to finish with a trophy is what they played for throughout the whole season.

"Looking forward, we have to see what happens with the (transfer) ban and see how that plays out, but we're looking forward to the young players coming through. They're very exciting.

"I'm sure the fans will embrace that and the lads who are still here. I see the squad being able to build again and move forward."
