The Blues have 37 players out on loan but there are only a small proportion of them who might be ready to play a role in the first team next season

Batshuayi is probably the most valuable player in Chelsea's loan group and he finds himself leading the line for Borussia Dortmund after his deadline-day move in January.
He was part of a transfer triangle that saw Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang go to Arsenal, while Chelsea signed Olivier Giroud, allowing Antonio Conte to release Batshuayi to earn more game time ahead of the World Cup.
Batshuayi signed for Chelsea for £33.2 million, but he has struggled to earn the trust of his manager since moving from Marseille. His impressive start to life at Dortmund has, however, proved he is capable of having a big impact.

The 20-year-old has built upon his breakthrough season with Bristol City last year with another good campaign in the Premier League with Swansea City.
He has been in and out of the team having made 17 starts with a further 10 substitute appearances, but he is very highly regarded having made his England debut in 2017.
Abraham is quick, a good finisher and has been working on his build-up play at the top level. His performances have significantly contributed to Swansea's season and his loan move to Wales has to be regarded as a modest success.

Charly Musonda made his breakthrough in the Chelsea first-team this season but having only made two starts and a further five substitute appearances, he has gone on loan to Celtic.
The Scottish champions have him on an 18-month loan deal after he renewed his Chelsea contract and he will be hoping that a longer spell with the Hoops can earn him a similar level of experience to that of Andreas Christensen, who is now a first-team regular at the club.
Musonda has already started more games for Celtic than he did for Chelsea having joined on loan in late January, but he has yet to establish himself as an automatic starter.

Mason Mount is making a huge impact in the Eredivisie and has got into the team of the week several times since the turn of the year.
His performances with Vitesse are remarkable for a player who has just turned 19, and he has contributed seven goals and three assists this season.
Mount was crowned the player of the tournament as he helped England to glory at the UEFA European Under-19 Championship in the summer.
