Throughout the years, Chelsea have produced a conveyor belt of highly-rated talents out of the Cobham academy. From Mason Mount and Reece James to Declan Rice and Tammy Abraham, the Blues boast one of the best youth academies in the country.
Mount and James are joined by Trevor Chalobah, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Conor Gallagher and Armando Broja as Cobham graduates in Graham Potter's squad, with many former academy players regulars in some of Europe's top five divisions.
However, the hierarchy hasn't always gotten it right in decision-making. A recent example being defender Fikayo Tomori. The defender fell down the pecking order under Frank Lampard following the arrival of Thiago Silva and moved to Italy for regular team football with AC Milan.
