Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich rewards his players for their 2016-17 title triumph with expensive limited-edition watches.

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has rewarded his players for their title success last season with watches worth up to £30,000 each.

The gifts from Swiss brand Hublot, one of the Blues' corporate sponsors, are part of a limited-edition range, with only 200 having been produced.

As revealed by winger Willian in a post on Instagram, the watches were accompanied by a note from Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck thanking them for their efforts last term, which saw them win the Premier League by a seven-point margin.

It read: "On behalf of Mr Abramovich and also on behalf of the Board of Directors of the club, congratulations on creating history during the 2016-17 season.

"It's been a campaign to remember. Keep the blue flag flying high."

Antonio Conte's side are about to embark upon a pre-season tour of the Far East, where they will face the likes of Bayern Munich, Inter Milan and bitter rivals Arsenal.
