Chelsea set to axe five players during January transfer window

Chelsea set to axe five players during January transfer window

Chelsea could be set for a busy January transfer window

Chelsea are reportedly looking to part ways with as many as five players during the January transfer window.

So far, the 23/24 season has been a disappointment for Chelsea under the guidance of new boss Mauricio Pochettino.

Despite their 2-1 win over Crystal Palace on Wednesday night, Pochettino was on the end of criticism from Blues fans.

Chelsea were big spenders during the summer transfer window after bringing in the likes of Moises Caicedo, Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson.

Ahead of the January transfer window, it has been reported that Chelsea have made five first-team stars available as Pochettino looks to trim his squad.

According to The Athletic, midfielder Conor Gallagher faces an uncertain future despite captaining the team on 11 occasions this season.

It has been claimed that the likes of Everton, West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur are all keeping tabs on Gallagher, who is valued at £40 million by the Stamford Bridge club.

Apart from Gallagher, defender Trevoh Chalobah and striker Armando Broja are also believed to be on the transfer list.

The report states that Broja is likely to leave the club if they manage to bring in a new striker next month, whilst Chalobah is yet to feature under Pochettino.

Full-back Ian Maatsen could also be moved on, the youngster rejected a deadline-day move to newly promoted Burnley during the summer.

Champions Manchester City are reportedly interested in the Dutchman.

Lastly, defender Malang Sarr, who isn’t even registered as a Premier League player, is set to be shown the exit door despite his huge £100,000 weekly wage.

Pochettino hilariously ‘forgot’ about Sarr when asked about him during a press conference.

Chelsea will be back in Premier League action this weekend as they travel to Kenilworth Road to take on newly promoted Luton Town on Saturday afternoon.
