Chelsea fans will be continuing to hope for a big summer in 2022, with a number of high-profile players linked to the club..
Thomas Tuchel will be hoping to bring in a number of targets, some of whom they had hoped to sign last summer.
They're set to lose a number of players who will become free agents, whilst having a considerable amount of squad players who seemingly are not in the German manager's plans.
Chelsea know that they are behind the pack in terms of challenging for major trophies and currently lag Liverpool and Manchester City in the Premier League standings.
They'll look to be in that conversation this time next season, and know they'll need reinforcements to do so.
Antonio Rudiger, Andreas Christensen and Cesar Azpilicueta are just three players who could leave this summer, with all three out of contract at the end of the season.
As well as adding defenders, Chelsea will look to bolster their squad depth.
Here are the latest Chelsea transfer rumours.
