Mauricio Pochettino has hinted at further sales this summer after warning that Chelsea need to make tough decisions to cut down their squad.
The new Blues boss inherited a bloated roster which has already been reduced of 12 first team members including the likes of N'Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic and Mason Mount.
But after having to take 29 players on their tour of the US, which ends on August 3 against Borussia Dortmund, Pochettino is still keen to see the numbers reduce.
'We are 29 players here and the squad is massive,' he told reporters after their 1-1 draw against Newcastle on Thursday.
'It is about creating a squad with good balance and people who can play and can compete for their place.'

For me the best thing is to finalize move or sales of Ziyech, Lukaku and Cucurella. Then loan three/four of the young stars against January or next season. Then sign a Defensive midfielder and a striker to fill in the void left by the plenty midfielders sold

At times I get confused by Pochettino. One time he will say Chelsea needs to sign players then in another speech, Chelsea needs to cut down on squad numbers so what does he want.? Now Chelsea must consider selling Raheem Sterling asap. He is quite a liability now. What he knows to do best is dive and sleep on the pitch with the slightest nudge.
