Chelsea could be about to see a reunion between a former manager and player as they look to clean up the playing squad ahead of the Premier League opener against Everton on Saturday.
Thomas Tuchel has made it all too clear that he wants to shake up of the squad with a group of players that want to leave the club, and progress has picked up this week as Todd Boehly shifts into gear to make key additions and subtractions from the current crop.
With exits becoming closer for Malang Sarr, Kepa Arrizabalaga and Ross Barkley, as well as Timo Werner actively seeking to depart as well, Tuchel's wish could be about to come true as his batch of players is trimmed.
