Things are heating up in the world of transfers for Chelsea as the summer fast approaches and quick decisions are required. While there are still areas that need addressing in the squad for incomings it is the outgoings that are set to take precedent.
The 32-man squad and financial strain brought about by the lack of European football and heavy investment in the opening 12-months of the Todd Boehly-Clearlake Capital reign have coincided with a much needed rebuild. Under what is expected to be Mauricio Pochettino's coaching, more than 15 first team players could leave the club.
From failed transfers to youth graduates and everything in-between, very few are safe and no on the market for the right price this summer such is the scale of continued overhaul at Stamford Bridge. With the club's own June 30 soft deadline day to get sales done for accounting purposes, action is taking place already.
