Chelsea to offload six players this summer?

Chelsea are reportedly looking at the prospect of offloading six first-team players as they aim to recoup funds for new signings.

The west London side have not made any new additions in the past two transfer windows and they are financially in a better position than their rivals.

According to The Express, the capital outfit are expected to part ways with Pedro and Willian when their respective deals expire this summer.

Aside from the duo, Emerson, Michy Batshuayi, Tiemoue Bakayoko and Danny Drinkwater are among the other players likely to be shown the exit door.

The Blues have already signed Hakim Ziyech from Ajax and they are currently on the cusp of reaching an agreement for the transfer of RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner.

The west London side are likely to focus on strengthening the defence after the purchase of Werner and reports claim that they are eager to land the services of Leicester City's Ben Chilwell.
