14 Chelsea players have contracts expiring next DECADE only

Chelsea are banking it all on their future in a stark strategy change from the previous regime.

Under the Todd Boehly-led ownership group, the Blues have signed players worth ₤1bn — but most of them are far from the finished product.

Still, Chelsea went all-in by tying them up to long contracts. Very long contracts. In fact, some of those deals extend into the 2030s, and not all of those deals were given to players who are ready to play regularly for the first team.

Here's the list of 14 players whose contracts expire next decade.
