FIVE PLAYERS CHELSEA MUST SELL

With the January transfer window only weeks away, we have selected five players Chelsea simply must offload.

These are players who, for one reason or another, are surplus to requirements at the Bridge and who’s time in Blue has come to an end.

There are players with distinguished service to the club, cases of what might have been and at least one inexplicable signing with the benefit of hindsight.

The last selection is a cautionary tale for powerhouse clubs and aspiring starlets everywhere.

Chelsea fans will likely be pleased to know there are no promising Belgians on the list.
