Barely a day is going past at present where there isn’t news about a Blues player, most of whom are heading out of the club rather than joining.
Mason Mount, Mateo Kovacic, Edouard Mendy, Kalidou Koulibaly, Kai Havertz and others have either already been sold or are the subject of serious interest from other clubs.
The fire sale in west London would appear to have come about because of Todd Boehly’s amateurish approach to the last couple of transfer windows.
