Di Santo was a bit of a disaster. He was only young during his time at the club but he didn't manage to find the back of the net in 16 games for the club.
Falcao struggled badly in the Premier League. He managed just one goal during his loan spell in the 2015/16 season.
Pizarro was meant to be in his prime when he was at Chelsea. He managed two goals in 32 games and lasted only one season at the club.
Another youngster that failed to make the grade at Chelsea. Forssell netted 13 goals in 53 games with Chelsea.
Cole never became a first-team regular at Chelsea. Still, eight goals in 31 games for a young player isn't too bad.
Mutu managed 10 goals in his first season for the club. He was then sacked after testing positive for cocaine.
Kezman was one of Jose Mourinho's first signings at the club. He managed seven goals in just 41 games.
The Argentine managed just five goals in 19 games. It's no surprise that his loan move wasn't made permanent.
Lukaku is a tough one to rank. He didn't score a single goal in 15 games for the club but was often used as a substitute. He soon showed that Chelsea were wrong to sell him.
Ba scoed just 14 goals in 51 games for the club. He did manage to net one of Chelsea's most memorable goals in recent history after THAT slip by Steven Gerrard.

- Didier Drogba. Drogba just had to top this list. He has been such an influential figure in Chelsea's success this century. He hit the back of the net 164 times in 381 games for the club.
- Diego Costa. Costa bullied defenders during his time at Chelsea. Signed for £32 million, he averaged just under a goal every two games and helped the Blues to two Premier League titles.
- Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. Hasselbaink certainly knew where the back of the net was. A lethal goalscorer, the Dutchman scored 87 times in 177 games for Chelsea.
- Eidur Gudjohnsen. A superb player. Signed for just £4.5 million, Gudjohnsen scored 75 goals during his six-year spell.
- Didier Drogba. Didier Drogba will go down in history as one of Chelsea’s best ever players following an outstanding career at Stamford Bridge. After signing from Marseille in 2004, Drogba scored 164 goals in all competitions for the Blues and won 12 major honours during his two spells at the club.
- Diego Costa. Chelsea struggled to replace Drogba when he initially departed in 2012 and it wasn’t until Mourinho snapped up Diego Costa from Atletico Madrid two years later that they found a striker capable of bullying opposition defenders with his combative style of play and mercurial temperament.
- Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. Chelsea weren’t Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink’s first club in the Premier League, that was Leeds United, but they may be the one he is most commonly associated with.
- Nicolas Anelka. There wasn’t an awful lot made of Nicolas Anelka’s move from Bolton to Chelsea in January 2008, and he made a pretty average start to his Blues career by scoring just once in 14 league appearances and missing the crucial penalty against Man United in the Champions League final.
