Chelsea FC has recently formed development partnerships with youth clubs in Phoenix and Dallas. To talk about that as well as Chelsea’s other development interesting in the U.S. market, we are happy to welcome Jeff Bookman to the Major League Soccer Talk podcast. Jeff is the head of international youth football development for Chelsea and was kind enough to give us a few minutes of his time earlier this week.
