Undoubtedly the best player on this list and maybe the best player in the entire league, selling Kevin de Bruyne is one of the biggest mistakes Chelsea have ever made. Currently tearing up Premier League defences with Manchester City, it was not too long ago that de Bruyne was seen as not good enough and was sent to Wolfsburg having made just 3 league appearances in 2 years with the London club.

De Bruyne set the league alight, helping Wolfsburg to a 2nd finish in the 2014/15 season while scoring 16 goals and making 27 assists in all competitions. His world-class performances earned him a move back to the Premier League with Manchester City and he hasn't looked back since.

The former Wolfsburg man currently has 4 goals and 7 assists in the league to his name this season and is the driving force behind Manchester City's seemingly unstoppable title challenge. Likely to win his first league title with City this season and currently many's favourite to win the player of the year, de Bruyne continues to dazzle every week and all Chelsea can do is watch in awe and wonder what could have been.
