Christian Pulisic, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, João Félix, Mason Mount, Hakim Ziyech, and Kai Havertz are just some of the names Chelsea may clear from their books come the summer.

Add to that Chelsea has 22 players currently on loan and with little future at the club for many of them. Mauricio Pochettino is reported as the next manager at Chelsea who has had a disastrous season going through three coaches in one season and now under Frank Lampard have lost four of their last 5 Premier League matches.
