A group of Chelsea players are set to receive pay cuts after their dismal season, with some of them facing a 30 per cent reduction.
The Blues are enduring a nightmare campaign. They are 11th in the Premier League table - with just 39 points to their name - and failed to go far in the Carabao Cup, FA Cup or Champions League, despite being Europe's biggest spenders over the last year.
Chelsea have invested nearly £600million in fresh talent since Todd Boehly's consortium completed a takeover last summer. They have also had four different managers this season, leaving Gary Neville to tell The Overlap: "Boehly is having an absolute nightmare."
