Joe Cole has urged Todd Boehly to complete a major summer transfer window clear-out at Chelsea with the current squad looking very bloated. Seventeen confirmed deals have thus far been completed by the Blues under the Todd Boehly consortium and while several players, including Antonio Rudiger, Timo Werner and Jorginho, have left the club in the last 12 months significant changes still need to occur at Stamford Bridge.
With the departures bringing in minimal funds, Chelsea are desperately in need of balancing their books to fit FFP regulations. Selling homegrown stars will act as pure profit for the club which is why an exit for Conor Gallagher or Mason Mount is likely.
Both English midfielders have interested suitors, with Newcastle, Liverpool and Everton circling around Gallagher. Meanwhile, Jurgen Klopp's side have made signing Mount their priority for the upcoming transfer window, football.london understands.
