Chelsea can secure £205m transfer windfall with eight sales to fund Mauricio Pochettino spend

Chelsea are hoping to sell a number of senior players in the summer transfer window as Todd Boehly looks to trim down the squad. Mauricio Pochettino is hoping to sign a new goalkeeper, central midfielder and striker - with further signings dependent on the number of outgoings ahead of next season.

The Blues finished 12th in the Premier League this season after taking just 44 points from 38 games. This was their lowest total since the 1987/88 campaign, when they were relegated from the English top flight.

Frank Lampard's spell as caretaker manager has come to an end after he won just one of his 11 games in charge - with Pochettino set to begin his role as manager on July 1. There is plenty of work to be done before then with many current players at Stamford Bridge at risk of being moved on - which could see Chelsea raise a significant amount of funds to reinvest in key areas of the squad.
