Tiemoue Bakayoko has been given a shock estimated transfer value by CIES Football Observatory
Chelsea have been blessed with some fantastic talent in recent seasons, with owner Roman Abramovich splashing serious cash in order to build his managers’ star-studded squads.
Alvaro Morata arrived from Real Madrid in the summer for a fee of around £60million, immediately installing the Spaniard as one of the Blues’ most valuable assets.
This is recognised in the latest study conducted by CIES Football Observatory, with estimated player values based on transfer fees, contract length and on-pitch performances.
While Belgian forward Eden Hazard remains top of the pile when it comes to most expensive Chelsea players, there is no sign of Willian, Pedro, Cesc Fabregas or David Luiz in this elite group.
However, young centre-back Andreas Christensen makes the cut while Tiemoue Bakayoko is ahead of several well-established names.
Take a look through the gallery above to see which Chelsea players boast the highest estimated transfer value, according to CIES Football Observatory.
