There is less than a week until the transfer window opens for Premier League teams and things are already bubbling away for Chelsea. There is a great deal of work to be completed in terms of incoming and outgoing players as the Blues look to form a squad that Mauricio Pochettino can lead to glory.
There is set to be plenty of turnover in midfield with the likes of Mateo Kovacic, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and N'Golo Kante set to leave and the west London side looking at the likes of Romeo Lavia and Moises Caicedo to come in and assist Enzo Fernandez in the centre of the pitch. Cutting the squad down will be imperative.
Frank Lampard noted that the sheer volume of players to manage was a major issue upon his return to Stamford Bridge. The caretaker manager went further to say his players were disillusioned. Chelsea cannot afford another season like that again.
