Chelsea have had a high turnover in terms of players, with several coming in and out over the course of the seasons.

With a lot of managers also being in and out of the club, it means that they will bring their own players in and discarding others that they no longer want.

That is definitely the case for Antonio Conte and Maurizio Sarri during their short reigns with the Blues at Stamford Bridge.

So what are those players up to now? football.london takes a look.

16/17

Oscar, £54m to Shanghai SIPG (January)

A player who had some good moments for Chelsea, however probably didn’t quite fulfil his potential altogether.

However, the Blues made some good money out of him and he continues to be a key part of Shanghai SIPG’s side.

Mohamed Salah, £13.5m to Roma

Well I think we all know how this turned out. Didn’t work out during his time at Chelsea, at all.

However, he has now become one of the best players in the Premier League and could win the title with Liverpool this season.

Papy Djilobodji, £8.5m to Sunderland

After the most bizarre of spells at Chelsea, he was eventually sold to Sunderland and the Blues actually made some money out of him.

He’s spent time at Sunderland, Guingamp and is now at Turkish club Gazisehir Gaziantep, where he has made 25 Super Lig appearances.

Patrick Bamford, £6m to Middlesbrough (January)

Having signed from Nottingham Forest, there was a real hope for the striker, but it never really came to fruition.

After several loan spells, he left for Middlesbrough and now is trying to play a big part of Leeds United trying to get promotion from the Championship.

Marko Marin, £2m to Olympiacos

Never settled at Chelsea and has still never really settled at a club, having left for Olympiacos before going to Red Star Belgrade.

In January, he signed for Saudi Arabian club Al-Ahli, with seven starts to his name for his new club.

Jon Obi Mikel, free transfer to Tianjin Teda (January)

Has really had a strange career since leaving Chelsea in 2017, firstly moving to China to play for Tianjin Teda.

He returned to England last season to play for Middlesbrough, before moving to Trabzonspor. However, recently cancelled his contract to return to England and be with his family during the coronavirus outbreak.

Branislav Ivanovic, free transfer to Zenit St Petersburg

Another player who can go down as a Chelsea legend and he was able to leave. He scored in his final appearance for the Blues.

He moved to Zenit St Petersburg and continues to be a regular for the Russians in the heart of their defence.

17/18

Diego Costa, £60m to Atletico (January)

Having helped Chelsea to the title, there was a big blow-up with Conte and he refused to return to training, instead spending his time in Brazil.

He had to wait until January with Atletico in a transfer ban, but he got his move and headed to Spain, where he is still vying for a number nine role with Alvaro Morata.

Nemanja Matic, £40m to Man United

Nemanja Matic was another key member of Conte’s title-winning team, but was seen as surplus to requirements and Man United took him with a good fee.

He has struggled at times this season to make his mark in the squad, but has started to become more of a regular due to injuries. United are to take up the extra option in his contract.

Nathan Ake, £20m to Bournemouth

An academy product who never really got much of a chance, with his biggest moment coming in the FA Cup semi-final win over Spurs.

A good fee from Bournemouth and has been a key part of their squad, often captaining the team. Chelsea could bring him back for double what they got.

Juan Cuadrado, £18m to Juventus

Again it never really worked out for him at Chelsea and he had a loan spell with Juventus before they finally snapped him up on a permanent basis.

Sarri is now the boss there and Cuadrado has started 19 Serie A matches, with one goal and two assists to his name.

Asmir Begovic, £10m to Bournemouth

£10m for a back-up goalkeeper is a pretty good price, and Begovic was at times replaced by Artur Boruc in the Cherries goal.

He then had a spell with Qarabag in Azerbaijan, but now he is one of the back-up goalkeepers with AC Milan, on loan from Bournemouth.

Bertrand Traore, £9m to Lyon

Eventually sold to Lyon and made a decent first impression, however he has struggled to make much of an impact this season.

In 14 Ligue 1 starts and another nine appearances off the bench, he has managed just one goal and three assists.

Christian Atsu, £6.5m to Newcastle

Really impressed on loan at Newcastle, and they managed to grab him on a permanent deal, but he hasn’t really replicated that form.

This season, the 28-year-old has played a bit-part role in the first team, only making six Premier League starts.

Nathaniel Chalobah, £5m to Watford

A lot of Chelsea fans were disappointed to see him leave for Watford, but last season he suffered a really serious injury which kept him out of action for a long time.

However, under Nigel Pearson he has found his way back and showed some of the form that Blues supporters liked so much.

John Terry, free transfer to Aston Villa

The Blues legend said a sad farewell to Stamford Bridge after the Premier League win and then moved down to the Championship with Aston Villa.

Terry is now one of the assistant managers there, and there is a good chance he will return to Chelsea at some point in a coaching capacity.

Loic Remy, free transfer to Las Palmas

The Frenchman was let go on a free when his contract ran out, but it didn’t really work out for him there as he was loaned to Getafe.

He was then sold to Lille and faced Chelsea this season in the Champions League, and could have knocked them out with a big chance at Stamford Bridge.

18/19

Thibaut Courtois, £32m to Real Madrid

Really struggled at first to get himself the starting spot after pushing for a move to Madrid, but has become the number one under Zinedine Zidane.

However, this season he really has been excellent for the Spanish giants as they battle towards another La Liga title.

Cesc Fabregas, £8m to Monaco

No doubt, Fabregas was one of the most talented midfielders to have graced the Premier League, but he couldn’t get the two-year deal to stay with Chelsea.

He was eventually sold to Monaco in the January and has been a regular, but the club have really struggled in Ligue 1, fighting against relegation.

Matej Delac, free transfer to AC Horsens

Became Chelsea’s longest-serving player, however never actually managed to get a game for the Blues and was sent on loan on several occasions.

He finally made his exit from the Bridge in 2018 and is playing in Denmark, where he is finally getting some playing time.

19/20

Eden Hazard, £90m to Real Madrid

Finally made his dream move to Real Madrid, but he has had something of a nightmare this season as he has suffered a couple of injury set-backs.

Chelsea fans will really hope that he gets his chance to shine at the Bernabeu because he was one of the best talents with the Blues.

Ola Aina, £9m to Torino

After a really impressive time on loan with Torino, they took up the option to sign him on a permanent basis.

The 23-year-old has been decent once again, showing his versatility on both flanks and earning his spot in the side.

Tomas Kalas, £8m to Bristol City

Having played a superb game against Liverpool, Kalas never really got another shot and was sent around the clubs on loan.

He finally managed to escape to Bristol City, however an injury this season scuppered his progress somewhat.

David Luiz, £7m to Arsenal

A dramatic last-minute sale to Arsenal, and to be fair this is really a sale under Lampard rather than Sarri or Conte.

He has had some pretty poor moments and also some excellent games for Arsenal. Although, Chelsea fans enjoyed the Brazilian being sent off at Stamford Bridge.

Michael Hector, £5m to Fulham (completed in January)

Was set to leave the Blues in the summer but it fell through at the last minute, so he had to wait until January.

A pre-agreement was accepted and since January has played 11 matches for Fulham and been a regular for the side.

Kenneth Omeruo, £4.5m to Leganes

Kenneth Omeruo had a pretty impressive World Cup for Nigeria, and ended up on loan with Leganes, who then took on a permanent deal.

Now the centre-back has been a constant presence in defence for the Spanish side, however they have slipped into the relegation spots.

Todd Kane, free transfer to QPR

Another player who has bounced around loan spells with Chelsea but was finally let go when his contract ran out to QPR.

With 18 Championship starts and another seven appearances off the bench, Kane has found some regular football once again.

Eduardo, free transfer to Braga

Very odd that he was brought back and then loaned to Vitesse for him to play the 2018/19 campaign.

Was only on a one-year deal and is now at Braga. But has struggled to get game time and is back-up once again.

Gary Cahill, free transfer to Crystal Palace

The club captain left on a high with the Europa League, but the option wasn’t to try to keep him and he was let go on a free when his contract expired.

Become an integral part of Crystal Palace’s starting XI, stepping in as captain and helping them to a few clean sheets along the way.
