Chelsea has recently undergone a massive revamp and is banking on the richness of its youth at the moment. Thomas Tuchel's side seem to be clear favorites to win the Premier League title this year.
Even though Frank Lampard didn't have a successful stint at Stamford Bridge, he played a major part in building the team around talented young players. Barring Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta, no other regular first-team player has been at Chelsea for 5+ seasons.
The club seems to be in its best shape after a long time. Let's take a deep dive into the Blues' talent-rich squad and see who is the most successful player in terms of team accolades.

Top 5 current Chelsea players who have won the most career trophies
#5 Jorginho | Saul Niguez — 6
Jorginho has been having the time of his life recently. The year 2021 has earned him a lot in terms of team and individual accolades. After winning the UEFA Champions League with Chelsea, Jorginho went on to grab the EURO 2020 with Italy.
The Azzurri midfielder rightfully earned the UEFA Player of the Season Award and is one of the favorites to win this year's Ballon d'Or trophy. Jorginho has won three trophies with Chelsea, two with his former club Napoli and one with the national side.
As for Saul Niguez, the Spaniard joined Chelsea as a loanee on deadline day at the start of the season. A core member of Atletico Madrid's recent domestic-level success, Saul switched to Chelsea due to increased competition at Atletico Madrid.
He has six major trophies under his belt. It also includes two Europa League titles and two UEFA Super Cups.
#4 N'Golo Kante — 7
N'Golo Kante's trophy collection includes a piece of history in the form of the 2015-16 Premier League trophy. Kante won the Premier League in his only season with Leicester City. The same had put him under the radar of numerous big clubs. However, the Frenchman chose Chelsea as his next home and he came for £32 million.
He is regarded as one of the best midfielders in modern football. N'Golo Kante played a massive role in Chelsea's Champions League success. His best performance in the tournament came against the legends of the tournament — Real Madrid.
Kante is a World Cup Winner, a UEFA Champions League winner, a UEFA Super Cup winner and a UEFA Europa winner. He is expected to retire as one of the most successful footballers of all time.
#3 Cesar Azpilicueta — 11
Chelsea's captain also happens to be its longest-serving player. All of Azpi's former teammates have left the club and the captain has now built a team around talented youngsters.
The Spaniard's experience is very much helpful to Thomas Tuchel who commands a bunch of prodigies at the moment. The defender joined the Londoners in 2012 from Marseille and cemented his position within a quick span of time.
Having been through thick and thin with the club, Cesar Azpilicueta has collected a total of eight trophies with Chelsea. This also includes one each for UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and two UEFA Europa Titles.
The 32-year-old has also won three major trophies with his former team Olympique de Marseille.
#2 Mateo Kovacic — 18
Real Madrid couldn't quite make the most of Mateo Kovacic's talent during the Croatian's stint at the Santiago Bernabeu. Los Blancos had some big names in the form of Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, Casemiro and Isco, among others, for midfield positions. This is why Kovacic was often relegated to the bench.
But in the little time he played for them, Kovacic did enough to grab a few eyeballs. He was offloaded to Chelsea as a loanee in 2018 and the deal was made permanent in the subsequent year.
Kovacic is a four-time UEFA Champions League winner. Not even the best of players have won this coveted trophy as many times as the Croatian. The 2020-21 Champions League trophy ended up as a special one for Mateo Kovacic as unlike his previous victories, he was able to play a pivotal role in this one.
#1 Thiago Silva — 32
Thiago Silva is one of those players who collected trophies wherever he went. Lauded as one of the fiercest defenders of all time, Thiago Silva has spent successful stints at every club he has played for.
With two international trophies (2013 Confederations Cup and 2019 Copa America), the Brazilian stopper also has a decorated national team career. Except for the 2016-17 Ligue 1 season, Thiago Silva had bagged each of domestic titles in his eight seasons at PSG.
Thiago Silva left the Parisian side to join Chelsea as a free agent in 2020. Having lost against Bayern in the 2020 UCL final, Silva won his first UCL trophy in his first season at Chelsea.
Apart from the aforementioned accolades, the 37-year-old has won seven Trophée des Champions and six Coupe de la Ligue among others.
