Keep or sell? The 11 Chelsea outcasts whose futures need clarifying before the transfer window closes
GOALThe Blues are faced with major decisions regarding a host of first-team stars, following another summer of significant expenditure.
Chelsea are facing a familiar problem as the transfer window draws to a close; an unexpectedly frenzied summer has left head coach Enzo Maresca with an oversized squad with the season already under way, and further additions are on their way in the form of £46 million (€60m) Joao Felix and, potentially, Victor Osimhen.
The Blues have faced mockery for having over 40 players listed, and while many are not in consideration for the first-team, there’s a rush to get rid of undesired players before the market closes on August 30.
Conor Gallagher and Romelu Lukaku are finally on course to complete protracted transfers to Atletico Madrid and Napoli, respectively, but there are still almost a dozen players on the fringes of the Maresca's team and squad whose futures are unresolved.
Below, GOAL assesses what should be done in each of their cases: keep, loan or sell?
