Chelsea look to have already identified the positions they hope to strengthen in the summer with a goalkeeper, central defender, striker and central midfielder all on the wish list. Malo Gusto and Christopher Nkunku will also join the club in the summer thus making it 13 new signings for 2023 if everything goes to plan, which means it is time for Todd Boehly and co. to begin plotting exits for many Chelsea stars.
Arsenal helped the Blues solve one of those problems in the January transfer window by signing Jorginho, who was out of contract in the summer, for £10million upfront with a further £2million available in add-ons. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's days at Chelsea appear numbered, while Hakim Ziyech could be another major departure from west London in the summer.
The long-term futures of Christian Pulisic, Edouard Mendy, Mason Mount and Kalidou Koulibaly are also unclear with a lack of game time and contract disagreements contributing to talk of a possible exit in the comings windows for all four.
