Premier League giants Chelsea could be set for an exciting summer transfer window, and Thomas Tuchel could look to offload some of his fringe players in order to raise cash for his own signings.
Here at Anytime football, we look at six players who could be on their way out of Stamford Bridge in the coming weeks.
Callum Hudson-Odoi
The 20-year-old winger struggled to hold down a regular starting berth at Chelsea last season, and the likes of Hakim Ziyech and Christian Pulisic were preferred over him.
It will be interesting to see if the youngster can impress Thomas Tuchel during pre-season and hold down a place in his starting lineup.
Hudson-Odoi needs to play more often in order to fulfil his potential, and if Chelsea cannot offer him that platform, he needs to leave for his own development.
Ross Barkley
The 26-year-old was on loan at Aston Villa last season, and he had a disappointing spell at the West Midlands club.
Chelsea have the likes of Kai Havertz starting in his position, and Ross Barkley is unlikely to get regular game time at Stamford Bridge next year.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek
The 25-year-old midfielder was on loan at Fulham last season, but he struggled to hold down a regular starting berth for the Cottagers.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek will have to work hard to impress Thomas Tuchel and convince him that he deserves a chance at Chelsea next season.
Kurt Zouma
The 26-year-old Frenchman is behind Antonio Rudiger, Andreas Christensen, Cesar Azpilicueta and Thiago Silva in the pecking order at Chelsea. He will have to move on to play more often.
The likes of Everton and Tottenham are interested in signing Kurt Zouma, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up eventually.
Tammy Abraham
Despite managing to score 30 goals for Chelsea in the last two seasons, Tammy Abraham has not been a critical player for Thomas Tuchel, and the struggling Timo Werner has been preferred ahead of him.
The player will be looking to move on in search of first-team action this summer, and West Ham United are thought to be leading the chase for his services.
Ethan Ampadu
Ethan Ampadu was on loan at Sheffield United, and he managed to impress with the Blades despite their relegation to the Championship.
However, Chelsea are well stocked in the defensive department, and the youngster might need to leave in order to play more regularly.
