Chelsea ready to offload Noni Madueke in January

Chelsea are ready to part ways with winger Noni Madueke when the transfer window reopens in the New Year.

The Englishman joined the Blues from PSV Eindhoven last winter and it was anticipated that he could be a key player for them.

However, he has barely played for the club under manager Mauricio Pochettino and has been a regular unused substitute.

It is now reported that the Blues are preparing to part ways with several players in January before making potential signings.

Madueke is one of those expected to head for the exit door and he could be followed by Trevoh Chalobah and Ian Maatsen.

Chelsea are determined to land a new striker in the January transfer window and they have Victor Osimhen as their top target.

Brentford's Ivan Toney and Feyenoord's Santiago Gimenez are also on their radar. The club will make a final decision next month.

Out of the three, Gimenez seems the most achievable option and he could be prised away for a package of around €60 million.
