#3 Marc Guehi | Crystal Palace
Before he was scouted and brought to Cobham, Marc Guehi played in Cray Wanderers' youth system. He joined Chelsea's academy in 2007 and remained there until 2019 when he graduated.
He notably featured strongly in the U-18 ranks, and signed a professional contract with the Blues, even before he left the academy. However, the center-back never actually played a first-team game for Chelsea.
After it became clear that he wouldn't feature for the first team, Guehi went on loan to Sweansea City for two years, remaining ever-present in the second year.
Last season, the 21-year-old decided to move from Stamford Bridge to Crystal Palace, where he has flourished. This season, the star has picked up 33 appearances, playing for nearly 3,000 minutes. Guehi has now been called up to represent England and has already featured in one game.
#2 Fikayo Tomori | AC Milan
After a short stint with Riverview United, Fikayo Tomori joined the Chelsea Academy in 2005. After 11 years of progressing through the ranks, the star graduated from the academy and picked up a short stint in the first-team.
However, there would hardly be any space for the towering center-back, and Tomori eventually left on loan to Brighton, Hull City, and Derby County. After these loans, the England international went on to feature for Chelsea's first team, properly breaking through in 2019.
However, he wouldn't last too long within the first team, eventually going on loan to AC Milan where he has found even more game time.
The Rossoneri exercised the buy clause within the loan deal, with Tomori making his move to Serie A permanent. This season, with the Rossoneri, Fikayo Tomori has played 31 games, spanning over 2,000 minutes on the field.
He also represents England at the international level and has a good chance of being called up for the World Cup in Qatar.
#1 Tammy Abraham | AS Roma
Another player to leave Stamford Bridge and head to the Serie A for game time is Tammy Abraham. The ace striker started off with Chelsea as a child, rising through the ranks and eventually graduating from the academy in 2016.
While in the youth system, the youngster was invited to train with the first team, a clear signal of his massive potential. Soon after his graduation, he joined the club's first team, picking up two appearances for the Blues.
Abraham would eventually go on loan to Bristol City, Swansea, and Aston Villa. However, his strong showing with Villa (26 goals in 40 games) catapulted him back into Chelsea's first team for the 2018-19 season, where he managed 18 goals.
The next season would sadly see the youngster struggle to find gametime, as he played just 22 Premier League games for the Blues. AS Roma came for the star during the last transfer window, and now Tammy Abraham plays for the Giallorossi, where he has scored 23 goals in 40 games.
