The 13-time English champions have been without a calm, cool, and collected defender who is also a quick and muscular presence on the field for far too long. The 24-year-old checks all the right boxes and now has helped his team record 10 shutouts in the previous 19 contests.

9. Mason Mount

All of Chelsea's positive developments this season have been driven by Mason Mount. The Cobham academy alumnus is already a club leader and gives 110% on every excursion.

The Blues are fortunate to have a player with his versatility, especially when it does not compromise his performance. He was productive last season, making 21 league games and contributing seven goals and assists.

Mount is perhaps the most crucial member of the Chelsea team, and his achievements this year may help the West London side win several trophies.

10. Jarrod Bowen

Jarrod Bowen has been living up to his promise this season to develop into a fantastic attacker. Before this campaign, the Englishman was frequently sidelined by ailments, but he started the season totally healthy and ready to contribute.

Bowen frequently sneaks in to take an outside of the box shot or set up something for a player inside the area when playing as a false nine or right winger. The fact that the 25-year-old ace has a left foot like a magic wand is also encouraging. In 23 club games last season, he scored six goals and contributed seven assists as a result of everything.
