After leaving Leeds United for Atletico Madrid in 1999, he was in Spain for only a brief period and a year later returned to England, this time with Chelsea, for a club record fee of £15 million.
Hasselbaink scored 23 goals in 35 league appearances in the 2000-01 season and he finished the season as the Premier League's top goal scorer. He formed a productive partnership with Eidur Gudjohnsen in his second year with Chelsea, scoring 29 goals in all competitions and helping Gudjohnsen to 23 in a season which also saw Chelsea reach the FA Cup final. In his last two seasons with Chelsea the goals dried up. He scored only 11 goals in 27 games in 02-03, though in the next season he scored 17 goals in all competitions which made him top scorer at the club for the third time in four years. He ended his Chelsea career with 87 goals in 177 games.
