The Premier League table does not always offer a realistic look at where each side should be. However, there is one club that deserves to be exactly where they are, and that is of course Premier League leaders Chelsea.
The Blues have been in unbelievable form, with the turn of the year in particular seeing them open up a sizeable gap on the chasing pack. With so many players hitting top form for the club, we have taken a look at their usual match day squad and evaluated what they would be worth in today’s inflated market:
Thibaut Courtois – £60million
If Real Madrid can't get the world's best 'keeper in David de Gea, then they'll come looking at the Belgian. Image Source: Twitter
Victor Moses – £20million
Incredible to think everyone thought he wasn't Premier League quality before the start of the season.

David Luiz – £40million
Went from a walking comedy to a walking wall, what a player Luiz is becoming.

Gary Cahill – £20million
His mediocrity during his Bolton days has been forgotten; a fine defender.

Cesar Azpilicueta – £30million
Can play anywhere in the defence, versatility pays for itself. Image Source: Twitter
Marcos Alonso – £28 million
Already a good profit to be made on the wing-back.

N’Golo Kante – £65million
Will Real Madrid come in with a ridiculous £100million bid in the summer? Probably.

Nemanja Matic – £30million
Was awful last year but is back to his best once again.

Pedro – £25million
Finally given the time of day at Chelsea and they are reaping the rewards.

Eden Hazard – £75million
Chelsea fans will have you believe he is the next best player in the world. He's not. But he isn't half bad.

Diego Costa – £55million
Going to China. Not going to China. Who knows what this angry man actually wants.

Asmir Begovic – £10million
Begovic is doing his best impression of Carlo Cudicini this season.

John Terry – £5million
To the fans he is priceless, to everyone else, he is worth far less.

Kurt Zouma – £25million
Was meant to be amazing. And now can't dislodge Gary Cahill. Righto.

Cesc Fabregas – £25million
Does he regret not going back to Arsenal?

Willian – £35million
Why is he not playing week in, week out?

Michy Batshuayi – £20million
The £30 million+ they paid for him looks laughable.

So there it is, each Chelsea player given their transfer value. Of course, in today’s hugely inflated modern transfer market, each player is worth far more than they used to be. Last season in particular, the only person that would be close to their current price is N’Golo Kante, and he wasn’t even playing for Chelsea!
However, with the Blues so far ahead of the chasing pack this season and playing some superb football, it is no surprise that they are worth so much. Antonio Conte will now be hoping that a title win won’t herald the same title defence as it did for Jose Mourinho.
