Chelsea launch £300m masterplan as Mauricio Pochettino eyes seven transfers after cash injection

Chelsea have enjoyed a busy start to the summer transfer window, and long may it continue. Following the appointment of Mauricio Pochettino, Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart were instructed to trim down the squad ready for pre-season.

The former Tottenham boss, who officially begins his new role as head coach on Tuesday, will be hoping that the large majority of want-away players will have been sold ahead of his first day at Cobham. The Blues' pair of sporting directors have already managed to offload seven players, raking in over £200million for their efforts.

N'Golo Kante was the first to depart, accepting a lucrative offer in Saudi Arabia following the expiration of his contract at Stamford Bridge. Edouard Mendy jetted off to the Middle East too, and he was almost joined by Hakim Ziyech and Romelu Lukaku.
