Some of the leading candidates to be Chelsea's captain in the upcoming season include Reece James, Conor Gallagher and Ben Chilwell - all Chelsea's homegrown talents.

Yet, rumours about Gallagher joining Atletico Madrid this summer are likely to have the Chelsea captain's armband up for grabs. In addition, Enzo Maresca recently said that he would prefer Chilwell to leave the club as he struggles to get any play time at Stamford Bridge.

Last year, Reece James has been named as Chelsea captain.

Conor Gallagher was named the Blues captain in their EFL Cup second round game against AFC Wimbledon. With both James and Chilweel spending weeks sidelined due injuries, Gallagher usually takes the captain's hand band in their absence. 

Being one of the Blues' best performers this season and showing excellent leadership skills, Chelsea legend John Terry has expressed his respect and appreciation for the 24-year-old.

"Seeing him now as a Chelsea fan, I look and go ‘if there’s one player I want to represent and wear the armband it’s him for me," said Terry.

Chelsea captains in the last five years:

Gary Cahill: 2018-2019

Cesar Azpilicueta: 2019-2023

Reece James: 2023-2024
