, Who Chelsea have sold since the Frank Lampard era and where they are today including Alvaro Morata and forgotten stars

CHELSEA have sold or released 23 players since Frank Lampard took charge in June 2019.

Some, like Eden Hazard and David Luiz went to huge clubs while others have since flopped into obscurity.

Alvaro Morata failed to deliver at Chelsea and has spent time with Atletico Madrid and Juventu since

Lampard was replaced by Thomas Tuchel in January.

But here SunSport take a look at some of the best and worst Chelsea departures since the club legend was appointed.

ALVARO MORATA

After struggling for form and goals with Chelsea after his move from Real Madrid, the striker was loaned out to Atletico Madrid for the 2019-20 season.

The Spaniards eventually signed him permanently in July 2020 for £58million but sent him out on loan to Juventus – where he remains – just two months later.

EDEN HAZARD

One of Chelsea’s finest players of all time finally got his £130m move to Real Madrid in July 2019.

But Hazard – whose Fifa rating has dropped drastically – has struggled with injuries in Spain and has failed to get going.

He has featured just eight times this campaign, has failed to score and provided just one assist.

And he has only managed five goals and nine assists from 51 games since his move more than two years ago.

Reports emerged earlier this week suggesting the Blues are considering re-signing him.

DAVID LUIZ

The opinion splitting Brazilian was sold to Arsenal for £8m in August 2019.

Luiz won the Premier League, Champions League and two Europa Leagues with Chelsea as well as two FA Cups with the Blues and one with the Gunners.

He is now with Flamengo after being released by Arsenal at the end of last season and was recently in a war of words with Jamie Carragher – accusing the pundit of ‘forgetting the past’.
