An insight into the summer plans of the transfer chiefs at Premier League giants Chelsea has been provided on Friday evening.
The info comes by way of the Evening Standard, and surrounds predicted outgoings from Stamford Bridge.
According to the report, no fewer than seven members of incoming boss Mauricio Pochettino’s squad are set to be moved on.
Owing to a hugely disappointing campaign, Todd Boehly and co, it would appear, are ready to clear house.
In the attacking third, all of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Christian Pulisic, Hakim Ziyech and Callum Hudson-Odoi – currently on loan at Bayer Leverkusen – have been deemed surplus to requirements.
In midfield, meanwhile, Mateo Kovacic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek – the subject of intense interest on the part of AC Milan – are primed for a new challenge, too.
The departures may not end there, either, with the futures of the likes of Mason Mount, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Kai Havertz and Cesar Azpilicueta remaining up in the air.
🚨 Chelsea want to sell a number of players before June 30 so the sales can be included in their financial accounts for 22/23.
Aubameyang, Kovacic, Pulisic, Ziyech, Mendy, Hudson-Odoi and Loftus-Cheek are all set to depart.
