Just In: Aubameyang, Kovacic & Five More Chelsea stars set to leave this summer
According to the Evening Standard, Chelsea is preparing for a significant purge during the summer transfer window under Mauricio Pochettino.
All of Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Mateo Kovacic, Christian Pulisic, Edouard Mendy, Hakim Ziyech, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will depart.
It is unprecedented to permit seven first-team players to depart in one transfer window, but the new manager is aware of how critical it is to address the overcrowded roster at Stamford Bridge.
Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart, the co-sporting directors of Chelsea who conducted Pochettino’s employment interview, will support the cull. Prioritizing the acquisition of a striker and a goalkeeper is another priority for the Blues this offseason.
