Joe Cole has made his Chelsea transfer verdict very clear by telling Todd Boehly how many players the club should sell in the summer
Joe Cole has urged Todd Boehly to complete a major summer transfer window clear-out at Chelsea with the current squad looking very bloated. Seventeen confirmed deals have thus far been completed by the Blues under the Todd Boehly consortium and while several players, including Antonio Rudiger, Timo Werner and Jorginho, have left the club in the last 12 months significant changes still need to occur at Stamford Bridge.
Both English midfielders have interested suitors, with Newcastle, Liverpool and Everton circling around Gallagher. Meanwhile, Jurgen Klopp's side have made signing Mount their priority for the upcoming transfer window, football.london understands.
Therefore, this summer, any player that sees their deal expire in 2024 could be as risk of being sold if they are unwillingly to renegotiate contract extension terms. Alongside Mount, Mateo Kovacic is another name who only has 14 months left on his current deal, which could mean his long-term future is away from west London.
A departure for 33-year-old Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang seems guaranteed with his one-year stint at the club a significant disappointment. Building around the next generation of talent will be of high importance at Chelsea and while that may take a few seasons to prove it's worth, Joe Cole has told Boehly exactly how many players should be shown the exit door this summer.
Speaking after Chelsea's Champions League defeat to Real Madrid on BT Sport, he said: "Before the Antonio Conte year, Chelsea finished 10th or 11th and Antonio Conte come in and won the league - I’m not saying by any stretch of the imagination I think this group will win the league next year, I think there’s more than enough strong teams.
"But, without a doubt, it’ll help this group, but only if they can offload at least 10 players. I think 10 players need to be trimmed from the squad."

I'd also add Cucurella (At fault for Chilwells red card, and also at fault for leaving Rodrygo open and forcing Chalobah to make a reckless mistake which led to us conceding.)

I'd keep Broja for support as he's a good players. just been injuried pretty much all season. I'd keep Mount too. He only struggled this season because the whole team was struggling. He deserves to prove himself next season. Otherwise the rest are all good to go.

We gotta sell: Ziyech, Pulisic, Auba, Sterling, Cucurella, RLC, keep players like Gallagher, D.fofana, Badiashile, Koulibaly, Mount, Havertz and Kovacic for support . Send people like Chukwuemeka on loan. specially in a season where we're just focusing on PL, We should only focus on 16-18 players at most. not our current 30 player squad. That way players like Mudryk and Madueke can have enough time and playing opportunity to adapt. and by the time we hopefully get back to Europe in 2 seasons, we should have an established starting 11 with support players. If we're playing a different lineup every game, no one is going to improve and that's exactly why we're struggling SOOOO bad with so many good players in the team. The higher the squad size, the less focus.
