Five players looking to leave Chelsea as Thomas Tuchel slams stars for lack of commitment

Thomas Tuchel is expected to allow a number of players to leave Chelsea this summer as his rebuild continues ahead of the 2022/23 season.

The Blues were thrashed 4-0 by Arsenal in pre-season on Sunday and it has sparked plenty of concern amongst their fanbase, with just two weeks to go until their Premier League opener against Everton. Tuchel blasted his players for their lack of commitment after the game. This followed up a 1-1 draw against MLS side Charlotte just three days earlier - a performance that also did not catch the eye.

Meanwhile, Arsenal and Manchester United have had impressive pre-seasons and both are unbeaten from their friendly matches, playing the type of football supporters would want to see. Although it is only pre-season, Chelsea fans are concerned with the lack of progress, having only made two signings in the form of Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly. More are expected through the door, though, with Jules Kounde among those linked.
