Xabi Alonso could let up to 25 Chelsea players leave including Enzo Fernandez and four strikers

CHELSEA could still sell up to FIFTEEN players before the end of the summer transfer window, with a further TEN potentially moving away from Stamford Bridge on loan. As ever at Chelsea, the end of the window is a busy time, but with most of their incoming signings sorted, the Blues have plenty of outgoings to work on. Nicolas Jackson is one man in need of a route out of Chelsea Credit: Alamy Pedro Neto is another who could leave before the window shuts Credit: AFP There are several players who have been involved in various ‘bomb squads’ over the past few seasons who are in need of a permanent move, as well as a few top academy talents who need more regular minutes in adult football. Playing only once a week this season is expected to help Xabi Alonso in terms of his adaptation and to help Chelsea in terms of their mission to qualify for Europe again. Sign up for the Chelsea newsletter Thank you! But having a bloated squad, with several players unhappy about a lack of minutes won’t do Alonso’s squad harmony any good at all, so there are plenty of calls for head honcho Behdad Eghbali to be making in the next couple of weeks. These are all the players who SunSport Chelsea reporter Lloyd Canfield thinks could be waving goodbye to Stamford Bridge before the window closes. Filip Jorgensen The Danish stopper is expected to complete a move to sister club Strasbourg very soon, in his bid for more regular minutes after a disappointing spell at Stamford Bridge. Gaga Slonina Has also been training with Strasbourg, as he looks to get his career back on track – multiple European clubs have shown an interest in the former Chicago Fire keeper. Most read in Sport BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS Axel Disasi Could be Crystal Palace‘s Maxence Lacroix replacement, after impressing on loan at West Ham in the back end of last season – a Premier League move is likely, though a handful of Serie A sides are reportedly interested. Tosin Adarabioyo Was Chelsea’s most experienced player last season, but has been underwhelming since joining on a free from Fulham, Xabi Alonso wants four or five centre-backs and he is not one of them. Benoit Badiashile Napoli looks the most likely option for him at the moment, with a potential loan with option to buy deal on the cards.Trevoh Chalobah About to complete a move to Cesc Fabregas‘ FC Como side, and could even face Arsenal in his first game next Wednesday. Trevoh Chalobah is expected to complete a move to Como in the coming days Credit: Alamy Wesley Fofana May end up staying with Chelsea needing to get rid of so many defenders, Barcelona and Roma have been linked with a move, but he might have one last shot at reviving his Blues career this season.Malo Gusto PSG have been linked with a move for the versatile Frenchman, with Chelsea demanding £75m for his services. The arrival of Marco Palestra may spell the end of him at Stamford Bridge.Romeo Lavia Yet to complete 90 minutes for Chelsea, with AS Monaco reportedly interested in the Belgian midfielder. Has all the talent and ability in the world, but his injury record has made him a liability with Alonso needing players he can depend on.Enzo Fernandez Flirted with a move to Real Madrid in the summer, only for Los Blancos to put out a statement rejecting him. Finds himself in transfer limbo, with the club demanding £120 million for his sale and no serious suitors. Enzo Fernandez’s future remains unclear Credit: PA David Datro Fofana How he is still a Chelsea player is ridiculous, as the club have been trying to sell him for what feels like forever – he could still be a Chelsea player three years from now, with his contract expiring in 2029.Pedro Neto There is no desperation for Chelsea to sell probably their best winger last season, though Manchester City are interested in the Portuguese man and the Blues would let him go for the right price – which is £70million. Liam Delap The second of FOUR out and out strikers on this list, after Fofana. Nottingham Forest, Everton, Leeds and Newcastle United have all been linked with him, though none seem close to agreeing a deal with Chelsea at the moment. Nicolas Jackson Chelsea want £65million for the Senegalese front man, with multiple clubs from the Premier League showing interest, and plenty from around Europe too. Bayern Munich opted not to sign Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea this summer Credit: EPA Marc Guiu Subject to one of the most bizarre transfer saga’s of the season this time last year, being brought back from his loan at Sunderland. Chelsea now have more promising strikers who are younger than him, so it makes sense to look for a permanent sale. Players who could be loaned: Denner Evangelista Just joined on a 7-year contract and is a highly rated 18-year-old – it’s unclear what Chelsea plan to do with him for now, but you would imagine a loan makes the most sense. Ishe Samuels Smith Spent last season on loan at Swansea after bizarrely permanently joining Strasbourg and then re-joining Chelsea 33 days later. Another who could move permanently if not on loan. Aaron Anselmino Had a really promising loan at Borussia Dortmund last season which was cut short by the Blues, could do with more top European experience on loan this season. Josh Acheampong Not considered for sale by Chelsea, but needs minutes in the Premier League that he likely won’t get at Stamford Bridge having been sparsely used in pre-season so far. Josh Acheampong is highly rated at Chelsea but needs regular minutes Credit: Getty Omari Kellyman Had a successful loan at Cardiff last season, which the Blues may look to replicate this season. Dastan Satpayev The 17-year-old has technically still not joined Chelsea just yet, joining their pre-season tour as a “triallist”. Already has Champions League experience, and might be a shock candidate to stay at Stamford Bridge and get a few minutes as a backup, but if not, a loan move makes sense. Mykhailo Mudryk His shock return has left Chelsea with a decision to make. A permanent sale would seem hasty, with it being more likely that he will either be slowly re-integrated, or more likely loaned out to another Premier League club or sister club Strasbourg. Mudryk’s shock return means he needs to re-adjust to playing regularly again Credit: Getty Shim Mheuka In need of a loan after proving he is too good for under-21s football last season, alongside Jesse Derry – multiple EFL clubs are interested, with a Championship move feeling the most likely. Ryan Kavuma-McQueen A season long loan to Portsmouth seems the most likely route to minutes for Chelsea’s Rio Ngumoha replacement, after he shone for the under-21s last season. Reggie Walsh Multiple Championship clubs are thought to be interested in the midfielder who was Enzo Maresca‘s prodigal son in his time at Stamford Bridge – he has beefed up over the summer and could be a real hit in the Championship if the move is right.
