Chelsea need to sell players this summer. With £600million spent on incoming transfers and little heading in the other direction, it is no secret that the Blues need to trim their numbers.
Players had to be left out of the club's Champions League squad and it was difficult to even make matchday squads with the club recognising more than 30 senior players after the January transfer window. With the likes of Ethan Ampadu, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Malo Gusto set to return from loan with a plethora of other players, sales will be necessary.
Mauricio Pochettino tends to work with smaller groups, so there will be pressure to accommodate him and also hope to balance the books somewhat. It has been well-documented that the prospect of homegrown player sales could prove more useful in this regard.
