Chelsea's squad selection for final pre-season game against Udinese hints at a double departure of fringe stars being imminent as Thomas Tuchel prepares to trim his squad over the forthcoming days.
On the incomings front, the Blues have been going about their business in a steady fashion with Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly's acquisitions improving two key areas of the team. However, a lot more is needed very soon as four more signings on top of the aforementioned two were promised to manager Tuchel when he was given his £200million plus budget by Todd Boehly at the start of the summer.
With the incomings though, outgoings will need to happen at the same time to free up space in the squad and most importantly on the wage bill. The likes of Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech have been linked to various clubs since the transfer window opened but it's another duo that are seemingly closer, judging by the latest team hints.
