Chelsea are expected to be very busy in the summer transfer window, despite growing uncertainties around the club's ownership, as Thomas Tuchel attempts to continue the process of moulding the squad into one that resembles his identity.

Cesar Azpilicueta, Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen are all out of contract at the end of this season and don't look likely at this stage to commit their long-term futures at Stamford Bridge.
