From Terry to James: Chelsea's best academy graduates

Chelsea, one of the most successful English clubs in the 21st century, are known for buying expensive and talented players. Their domestic and European success has been built on their recruitment strategy, not just for the first team but also their academy.

The Blues have produced an array of top talents, thanks in no small measure to a revered scouting department that identifies potential talent at a very young age.

Chelsea's youth academy at Cobham has nurtured many talented players in the recent past like current first-teamers Reece James, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Mason Mount.
