John Terry names four Chelsea players who are future at Stamford Bridge
The former Chelsea skipper believes Andreas Christensen, Eden Hazard, Pedro and Willian are the future at Stamford Bridge
John Terry has named Andreas Christensen, Eden Hazard, Pedro and Willian as the future of Chelsea.
The Blues have won the Premier League title in two of the past three seasons to dominate the English top flight under Jose Mourinho and then Antonio Conte.
Hazard scored 30 goals in Chelsea’s title-winning campaigns to establish himself as one of the best players in the Premier League at the age of 26-year-old.
Conte has four players aged 30 or over in the Blues squad as the Italian coach plots for the future at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea are in third place and 14 points adrift of current Premier League leaders Manchester City with 20 games to go in the title race.
Former Blues skipper Terry believes Christensen, Hazard, Pedro and Willian have the spend and quickness combined with power that has become a trademark quality in the Premier League.
“When you look at it, the likes of Andreas [Christensen] coming in, Eden [Hazard], Willian, Pedro, all still young boys,” Terry told Monday Night Football on Sky Sports.
“So I think naturally that happens, that evolves. I think what they’ll offer is something different.
“I think the Premier League has gone to a different level with speed and quickness and the power of the players these days.”
Chelsea won the Premier League title with two games to spare last season after the west London side finished seven points clear of second-placed Tottenham Hotspur in the 2016-17 season.
Conte signed Willy Caballero, Antonio Rudiger, Tiemoue Bakayoko, Alvaro Morata, Danny Drinkwater and Davide Zappacosta in the summer transfer window.
The Blues lost 2-1 to Arsenal in the FA Cup final at Wembley last season.
