With the former Blues players Mohamed Salah and Kevin De Bruyne leading the running for this season’s Premier League player of the year awards, it brings Chelsea's player development process back into the spotlight.

Roman Abramovich’s plans to make Chelsea a financially self-sufficient entity are to be applauded in these times of footballing hyper-inflation, however, their track record for allowing players leave the club is looking increasingly questionable.

Beyond the two headline names above, several other players have flourished elsewhere in the Premier League this season, players who could have been beneficial to Chelsea given their weakness this season in creativity and squad depth.

Kurt Zouma, Kenedy, Nemanja Matic, Nathaniel Chalobah and Ruben Loftus-Cheek have all proven themselves at this level with the likes of Michy Batshuayi and Diego Costa both leaving the club this season aswell.
