Chelsea transfer news: The full details for moves leaving Stamford Bridge this summer with updates on N'Golo Kante, Mason Mount, Edouard Mendy, Kalidou Koulibaly, Romelu Lukaku and Hakim Ziyech
Chelsea have continued their role in world football as one of the busiest teams on the planet when it comes to transfers. In the space of 12 months they have signed 17 players for the first team as well as countless youth additions.
Adding that to an already ageing, overpaid and underperforming squad has lead to major issues for the Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital administration in their early days as owners. It has seen them receive widespread criticism and faith has been lost among fans.
After a £600 million transfer splurge on players from 16-year-old Kendry Paez to 33-year-old Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the league record fee has been broken and numbers truly crunched. The 12th placed finish, three permanent managers and two interim bosses only amount to more embarrassment.
Here, football.london has the full list of Chelsea players either sold, on their way to departure lounges or linked with a move.
Kepa Arrizabalaga (28) - Napoli reported loan interest in summer 2022. Large wages make permanent deal unlikely. Contracted at the club until 2025.

Trevoh Chalobah (23) - football.london understands interest from Inter both permanently and on loan. Settled at Chelsea. Contract 2028.

Chelsea made a mistake of not selling Callum Hudson-Odoi to Bayern Munich last season. A significant amount of money would have been recoup from all the wages paid. I hope we find a serious buyer to pay back something reasonable. Anyway, who chose to leave, should without wasting time! We're Chelsea!
