Just like every other major club, Chelsea has a football academy where children are trained on how to play football, and like every other regular academy, players graduate from the academy to continue their careers as professional football players.
This means that Chelsea has produced a lot of players over the years, and sadly so, many of these players are not currently playing for the club. A lot of graduates from the Chelsea football academy have joined another club, and currently playing for different clubs apart from Chelsea.
Thus, we will be seeing ten (10) active players who graduated from Chelsea academy, and the current club they are playing for.
