Chelsea poised to recoup £65m with 3 players on the brink of exits to EPL clubs

Chelsea have had a day of breakthroughs in sales with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Lesley Ugochukwu and Armando Broja all closing in on permanent departures to fellow Premier League clubs.

Everton entered into talks over Dewsbury-Hall with a deal worth an initial £25million plus add-ons quickly worked on.

The 26-year-old midfielder cost £30m when Chelsea signed him from Leicester City last year as he became a squad player under Enzo Maresca, starting twice in the top flight.

Ugochukwu, 21, and Broja, 23, are also on the verge of signing for Burnley, sources close to the newly-promoted club have said.

Their exact fees have not yet been confirmed, but they are believed to be around the £20million mark for each.

Both players are understood to have agreed five-year deals with Scott Parker’s side.

Chelsea are continuing to work on other outgoings, with Borussia Dortmund in talks over bringing back Carney Chukwuemeka after the 21-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan there.

Tyrique George could yet join Chukwuemeka in Germany after an enquiry from RB Leipzig, while fellow 19-year-old Marc Guiu is expected in the North East to finalise a loan to Sunderland barring any late hiccups.

Chelsea’s players returned to Cobham for pre-season training on Monday after a three-week break following the Club World Cup.

Sources have said that those actively up for sale, such as Raheem Sterling and Ben Chilwell, are expected to continue to work separately to Maresca’s main group as Chelsea work on finding new clubs for those deemed surplus to requirements.
