Football Association chairman Greg Dyke has expressed his concerns about Chelsea's tendency to buy foreign players rather than develop English talent through their academy.

Dyke believes the current 'home grown' player does not do enough to ensure local talent is being given the opportunity to compete at the Premier League level.

"Home grown doesn't mean English, because you know Cesc Fabregas would count as home grown", Dyke told Sports Gazette.

"[Clubs] are spending a lot of money on academies and they're not getting the players for it. You go to Chelsea, the best youth side in the country, and yet the last player to get regularly into their first team was John Terry.

"Academy teams at clubs such as Chelsea are now increasingly filled with foreign players, mirroring the first team.

"[English players] are not just absent at the top level, they don't play at all. There are some quite frightening statistics that show that over 70% of the kids who sign a scholarship contract at 16 are out of the game by the time they're 20."
