Top 5 players Chelsea should not have let go of this season

#2 Nathaniel Chalobah

Nathaniel Chalobah signed a 5-year contract with Watford in July

Another product of the Chelsea academy, Chalobah, spent 4 seasons on loan before returning to the bridge last summer.

The English midfielder proved to be an excellent backup for Kante and Matic and was mainly used as a defensive weapon in the dying minutes of games to hold the scoreline.

He managed a total of 15 appearances last season and put up a good show every time, his highlight being the back heel pass to Moses against the foxes.

Chalobah's versatility, work rate and ability to read the game backed by his young age showed what an amazing asset he would be in the coming years.

This year has already seen him receive a call by the national team proving his continued improvement.

By retaining him the blues could also have saved the money they spent on Bakayoko or Drinkwater making his sale a very bad business.

The fans surely would have loved to see the Englishman turn into a great academy product in the coming years following the footsteps of John Terry.
