#2 Tammy Abraham

Tammy Abraham joined the Blues Academy in 2004 and signed his professional contract with the Blues in 2016. The striker made his Premier League and Chelsea debut in 2016 but since then had to go thrice out on loan with Bristol City, Swansea City and Aston Villa respectively.

The 21-year-old performance at the Villa Park last season saw him scoring 26 goals and making 3 assists in 40 appearances for the newly promoted side. His goal scoring prowess for the former European Champions saw the 21-year-old becoming the first player to score over 25 goals for Villa in the league for just over 40 years.

With Oliver Giroud nearing to his mid thirties, Michy Batshuayi still yet to show consistency and Alvaro Morata moving to Atletico Madrid, Tammy Abraham has the biggest chance among the others to break into the first XI.

#1 Callum Hudson Odoi

Big things are expected of 18-year-old Hudson Odoi, who made his international debut before making his Premier League start. The winger played a key role in the Chelsea squad that won the Europa League last season.

Callum Hudson-Odoi joined the Blues Academy at the age of 7 in 2007. Unlike the others, the winger never spent a season out on loan as he made his first-team debut in the 2017-18 season.

The 18-year-old has made his Chelsea debut during the 2017/18 season and so far has made 24 appearances for the Blues.

Callum Hudson-Odoi is arguably the biggest prospect in the Chelsea squad at the moment. Big things are expected of the teenager who had 4 bids from Bayern Munich rejected by the Blues.
