Guardian: 7 Chelsea players set to leave this summer in big clearout

Chelsea lifted only their second ever Champions League trophy on Saturday evening in what was another historical night for the club.

It’s the second one won under the ownership of Roman Abramovich, and the Russian billionaire was inside the stadium to watch and enjoy the celebrations.

Now comes the plans for the summer, and we know Chelsea will push ahead with some new signings to make them even stronger for next season.

To do this, they may need to raise some funds and sell some players, and The Guardian have named 7 Chelsea players who could leave this summer.

The most obvious of course is Olivier Giroud, who’s contract runs out at the end of next month with no sign of another renewal.

Kurt Zouma could also be sold this summer being down the pecking order of centre backs, and Tammy Abraham’s future at the club looks highly in doubt now after being left out of the Champions League squad altogether on Saturday night.

As well as the strikers, Chelsea could sell Ross Barkley, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Emerson Palmieri, and Fikayo Tomori, with AC Milan looking set to trigger the option to buy him.
