Mauricio Pochettino has been handed a huge boost in his mission to trim down the Chelsea squad. The Blues are said to be determined to offload several players this summer in an effort to raise funds to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations.
After just 12 months at the helm of Stamford Bridge, Todd Boehly drafted in 14 new faces to west London for £600 million. However, while Chelsea have been treated to some shiny new toys, the club only managed to sell six players under the American billionaire's reign for around £50m.
So, a fire sale is on the agenda this summer. Mason Mount, Mateo Kovacic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek have all been heavily linked with exits, as have Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech.
