#3 Jorginho

One of the favorites to win the Ballon d'Or this year, Jorginho is enjoying the best year of his career. The midfielder was one of the best players for his club and country, helping them win the UEFA Champions League and EURO 2020, respectively.

Often underappreciated, Jorginho has made a steady rise to become one of the best midfielders in the world. The Italian operates from deep, rotates possession with his sensational passing range and dictates the tempo of the match. Most of Chelsea's attacking moves start with him as Jorginho remains the focal point for initiating an offensive approach.

The 29-year-old's importance for Chelsea is undisputed as the Blues look a different side when he is playing. Jorginho makes the Blues tick and remains the pulse of the team.

#2 Mason Mount

Having risen up the ranks at Chelsea, Mason Mount has developed into an indispensable asset for the Blues. The youngster was one of Chelsea's best players in the knockout rounds of the Champions League and helped his club lift the title with his performances.

Mount is a gifted midfielder who acts as a link-up between Chelsea's midfield and attack. The 22-year-old is known for holding up the ball and for helping his team build attacks through his enhanced passing range. He is very composed on the ball epitomising his calm approach on the field of play.

Mount also offers himself by moving into dangerous positions, which creates spaces for his teammates. Though perceived to be defensively weak, Mount's playmaking abilities are enough to keep him in the first team.

#1 Mateo Kovacic

Mateo Kovacic might not be the best midfielder in Chelsea's squad but he is still a driving force when it comes to creativity. The Croatian's dazzling runs alone have helped open up defensive barriers numerous times.

Kovacic can dribble well and effortlessly glide past opponents, opening up a lot of options for his teammates during attack. The 27-year-old also posseses a penchant for through balls, which is why his presence increases the number of decisive key passes into the box.

With the presence of Mount, Kante and Jorginho, Kovacic has found it hard to really cement his place in Chelsea's starting eleven. The Croatian still has three assists to his name so far this season, more than any other Chelsea player.
