Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca is seemingly benefitting from the work completed by his predecessor, Mauricio Pochettino.

The Blues replaced Pochettino with Maresca in the summer after the former Tottenham Hotspur boss spent just one season in charge at Stamford Bridge.

Pochettino guided Chelsea to sixth in the Premier League last season and reached the FA Cup semi-final before leaving the club.

Maresca has taken over and is enjoying an impressive start to life as Chelsea manager, with the club currently fourth in the Premier League standings and are unbeaten in their last seven fixtures across all competitions.

Chelsea had a busy transfer window in the summer, but Maresca is also using several players either signed under Pochettino or who were key players under the former Blues boss.

In fact, the market value of several Chelsea stars have increased since Pochettino's reign began nearly 18 months ago.

One of the most notable changes is Cole Palmer's market value, which was just €18million (£15million) when he signed from Manchester City according to Transfermarkt. The England international now has a value of €90million (£75.3million), which represents an increase off around £60million.

Nicolas Jackson is another player who has thrived at Chelsea since being signed by Pochettino in 2023. The striker's value was €30million (£25million) when he arrived from Villarreal a little over a year ago but that has now increased to €40million (£33.5million), an increase of £8.5million.

Levi Colwill has also gone on to become a key player for Chelsea at the heart of Maresca's defence. At the start of Pochettino's reign in 2023 the centre-back had a market value of €30million (£25million) and that has now increased to €50million (£42million), which marks a difference of £17million.

Another player who has succeeded at Chelsea over the last 18 months is Malo Gusto. After officially arriving from Lyon in the summer of 2023 with a market value of €25million (£21million), that has increased to €35million (£29million).

All of this mean that those four Chelsea stars have seen their market values increase by a total of £93.5million from the time of Pochettino's appointment to the present day with Maresca at the helm.
