For one of the most spend-happy clubs in the Premier League, the next few years is all about rebuilding.

After winning the Premier League title two seasons ago, the buzzphrase when talking about Chelsea seemed to be ‘dynasty building’. The belief was that Jose Mourinho would be able to build a team to win the league again and dominate English football, filling the power vacuum left by Manchester United’s decline, Manchester City’s inconsistency and Arsenal’s stagnation.

Then last season happened.

But it is also worth remembering that the majority of this Chelsea squad is made up of players who were champions just two seasons ago, and in the case of N’Golo Kante, a player who is a current champion.

So we thought we’d take a little look through football transfer bible, TransferMarkt.com, to see actual market the value of Chelsea’s squad - surely last season’s blip was just a blip and the former champions are still amongst football’s best?

10. Michy Batshuayi (£21.25m)

New signing Michy Batshuayi’s market value shot up dramatically following his big-money move to Chelsea, but that doesn’t mean that Chelsea didn’t pay a fairly high price for the Belgian international. When you buy such a precocious talent as Batshuayi, you’re buying potential, hence the low TransferMarkt value when they bought him.

Over the next few years, though, if Batshuayi gets more game time, then his value could shoot up even further.

9. David Luiz (£23.8m)

David Luiz

Having left Chelsea for a whopping fee in 2014, David Luiz came back for another whopping - though not quite so large - fee this summer. In the last few seasons Luiz’s value has fluctuated, but let’s be honest - he is a wonderful footballer, whether or not he’s too undisciplined to play as a centre-back, however, is up for debate.

Chelsea’s decision to pay over £30m for Luiz this summer may look like they’ve paid far too much for him, but bear in mind that this is a player they sold for more just two seasons ago - as business goes, it’s a pretty good deal.

8. N’Golo Kante (£25.5m)

Kante

This time last year, N’Golo Kante was something of an unknown in the world of the Premier League, but by the summer just gone, he’d been transferred to Chelsea for around £30m.

Whatever Kante’s market value is, however, it probably doesn’t do justice to his on-pitch value. He’s the anchor midfielder who puts in the running to let others play their natural games, and can you really put a price on a player who does so much under-the-surface work for his team?

7. Nemanja Matic (£27.2m)

Another player Chelsea sold and brought back again, but this time not for a profit - this time it was for a huge loss.

Matic did, however, play a huge part in the 2014/15 title success, so the fact that he cost the club so much money to bring back from Benfica won’t sting too much.

The Serbian midfielder remains one of Chelsea’s most valuable assets, worth nearly £30m, and you’d expect that they wouldn’t sell him on for cheap.

6. Willian (£27.2m)

Willian

Another player who wouldn’t be leaving Chelsea for around his market value is Willian.

Probably the best player in the team last season, the club’s end to 2015 could have been an awful lot worse if Willian hadn’t been one of the few Chelsea players to give 100% on the pitch.

Signed for £30m a few years ago, though, Chelsea clearly weren’t thinking about his resale value - the market value of the player is still below the price they paid for him

5. Thibaut Courtois (£29.75m)

Thibaut Courtois

The Chelsea stopper established himself as the club’s No.1 in the 2014/15 season after impressing on loan at Atletico Madrid. He displaced Petr Cech and is now considered one of the best goalkeepers in Europe.

Chelsea’s goalkeeper is probably one of the most valuable 'keepers in the world, and is one of the most valuable players at the club.

4. Oscar (£29.75m)

Oscar

The Brazilian Oscar was bought for over £20m back in 2012, and although his value has been declining of late, the arrival of Antonio Conte may well give him a new lease of life.

Left out of the side to face Arsenal at the Emirates the other week, Oscar’s energy in the midfield was sorely missed. On the other hand, he isn’t the player you need to give the midfield energy, he’s a number 10 who just happens to give a lot of effort for his team.

3. Cesc Fabregas (£38.25m)

Leicester City v Chelsea - EFL Cup Third Round

Cesc Fabregas’s market value was at its highest when he was playing for Arsenal and Barcelona, unsurprisingly, but what is also surprising is that the transfer fees paid for the Spanish playmaker have never come close to what TransferMarkt feels is his market value.

The £28m paid by Chelsea for his services in 2014 is still significantly lower than his current market value, even for a player who will be 30 by the end of the season.

2. Diego Costa (£38.25m)

Chelsea’s second most valuable player, according to TransferMarkt, is Spanish international Diego Costa.

The West London club paid pretty much bang on the striker’s market value when they signed him from Atletico Madrid in 2014. Since then, the player’s value has risen, but like almost every other Chelsea player, his poor form last season makes him less valuable to the club this season than he was last.

1. Eden Hazard (£55.25m)

Hazard

Eden Hazard is Chelsea’s best player and, unsurprisingly, he’s also their most valuable player - and by some distance, too.

Hazard’s masterful displays in 2014/15 as Chelsea marched to the title aren’t totally forgotten, even though his value has decreased a couple of million since they lifted the trophy. He is, however, still the most valuable player in Chelsea’s current squad, and under the guidance of Antonio Conte, if Hazard can find his form again, Chelsea will be a force to be reckoned with.
