How do Premier League icons Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba and Eden Hazard rank among Chelsea's top 10 goalscorers of all time?

Chelsea's top goalscorers of all time

Chelsea fans have enjoyed seeing a whole host of greats ply their trade in the famous blue kit over the decades, from the likes of Jimmy Greaves and Kerry Dixon to Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba, and even more modern icons such as dribbling master Eden Hazard.

Arguably the club's greatest ever player, Lampard ranks first in the list of the Blues' all-time top scorers, with an impressive tally that is unlikely to be matched in the foreseeable future, and one that places him in the upper echelon of 21st-century Premier League midfielders.

His partner in crime, Drogba, is renowned as one of the most feared strikers in English top-flight history, and though he had a slower start, he flourished over time to more than earn his place on this list.

Elsewhere, Hazard may have struggled with injury and a lack of fitness in the later years of his career at Real Madrid, but his time in the Premier League will be remembered by football fans the world over.

The Belgian star was the focal point of the Blues' attack for a number of seasons in the mid-to-late 2010s, and aside from his famous dribbling ability, he also scored enough goals to be featured on this list of club legends.

Read on to see the full top 10, as Sports Mole lists Chelsea's highest goalscorers of all time.
