Chelsea Academy is blessed with a lot of young players and the Europa League winner found it difficult to keep most of the players due to lack of playing opportunity.
The Blues Academy has been one of the prolific academies in the Premier League; the academy currently has produced more than five players who are playing regularly in the current team squad.
Chelsea who are well known for their constant spending in transfer windows have spent more than 2 billion Euros on transfer fees and players’ salaries since Roman Abramovic became the owner of the club.
For more than a decade now, John Terry has been the only Product from the Academy who has spent his entire football career at Stamford Bridge.
Majority of the players produced are being loaned out to different clubs in Europe in order to gain more experience and some of these players are later released, while others were sold out cheaply to avoid UEFA’s sanctions for financial fair rule.
Conte was the first manager to give some of the loan players’ opportunity, his decisions were criticized by the Blues’ fans when they reinstated Victor Mosses, Nathaniel Ake and Andreas Christensen into the first team thereby dropping Cahill and Willian in his famous 3-4-3 formation.
Victor Moses and Andreas Christensen are some of the loan players who feature regularly under the Italian after their successful loan spell at Stoke City and Borussia Monchengladbach respectively, in which he won the League at his first season at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea transfer ban gave them no other option than to trust in their loan players who in turn serve as blessings to Frank Lampard managerial career at Chelsea, the former Chelsea Legend still maintains their fourth spot despite tough competitions.
Lampard’s team is currently struggling with forms after a brilliant start at the beginning of the season.
The Blues started well following the 4nil humiliation from Manchester United.
Frankie will have to stick to the loan players till summer since they failed to sign new players in January, there are many Chelsea loan players who had to leave the club due to their declined performance, the team will have to sign to avoid the case of Mohammed Salah and Kelvin De-bruyne.

The Top three former Chelsea Players the team should sign.
Nathaniel Ake
The former Chelsea player has become one of the best defender in the Premier League.
The Bournemouth player can play as a centre-defender or as a left-back.
The former Chelsea defender was recalled from loan under Antonio Conte with the hope that he will be given more playing time at London. Unfortunately, the defender was sold to Bournemouth despite his brilliant performance.
Chelsea are currently struggling at the back-line as conceded in their previous 5 matches, Antonio Rudiger is the only trusted defender in the squad, the manager who has used Zouma, Tomori and Christensen this season but none of these players was able to impress the retired midfielder.
However, bringing back Ake to Stamford Bridge should be Frankie’s decision, the former Derby manager tried to sign the player this January but it wasn’t fertile since Bournemouth who are still battling relegation opted to keep their player due to replacement.
Signing Ake in summer is possible, they might use Tomori as a bait to lure their former player back to the club.
It appears that the buy-back clause in his contract still put Chelsea ahead of other teams in the Premier League that also want his service.
Thorgan Hazard
The younger brother of former Chelsea player Eden Hazard was signed along with his brother, although the midfielder never put on the blue Jersey before he was sold after his successful loan spell at Germany Bundesliga club Borussia Monchengladbach.
The Belgium midfielder can play in the Midfield and also as a winger, his creative passes and dribbling abilities will add to Frankie’s team.
Thorgan who has always proclaimed his love for the Londoners will hope to work in his brother’s shoes who won the league at Chelsea and also the UEFA Europa cup.
The young winger recently signed for Borussia Dortmund despite interest from Liverpool and Manchester City in the Premier League.
The prolific winger will be an added advantage at Chelsea, his experience and assists will increase the scoring rate of Tammy Abraham who is currently struggling to increase his 13 League Goals, The England international has been experiencing goal drought in his previous 5 matches.
Jeremie Boga
The Ivorian winger left Chelsea after 3 successful loan spell with Rennes, Granada and Birmingham.
The young winger was signed by Sassuolo after his failure to secure a starting slot at Chelsea.
It appears that Frank Lampard might make a move for the winger following his brilliant display in the Serie A this season.
The young attacker has scored 6 times, assist 3 in the League, helping the Italian to sit comfortably above relegation.
It was rumored that Barcelona and Napoli have shown interest in signing the 23-years-old who is gradually becoming a popular player in Italy – Although, Chelsea still have an edge over other teams because of the buy-back clause in his contract.
Meanwhile, Chelsea will have to sign him in summer, the recent decline in some of their players’ form might force Frank Lampard to reinforce the team squad.
