Why Chelsea grand plans to sell 6 highly valued first team stars could prove difficult | OneFootball

TeamTalk’s report on Chelsea’s summer ahead named SIX players that the Blues would look to sell, and that could only be the start.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is the first player they name, claiming that the 26 year old would like to move to a team playing in Europe, but also for a side where he’s guaranteed more minutes than the Conference League scraps he’s had at Stamford Bridge this season.

Noni Madueke is also apparently up for sale, a harder one to square off given he’s been a first team regular for most of this campaign. Do the club really have that much faith in young Estevao Willian, coming in from Brazil for his first taste of European football? Or do they have another addition in mind?

Christopher Nkunku’s departure, on the other hand, looks certain. He doesn’t appear interested in playing for Enzo Maresca, who has given him countless chances to prove his worth.

The other 3 mentioned are Trevoh Chalobah, who has long been considered surplus to requirements, Joao Felix, who is in a similar situation to Dewsbury-Hall, and (amazingly) Andrey Santos.

We don’t think Santos will go. In fact, he should have a chance of being a first team regular next season. We’re sure the club would love to sell Felix and Nkunku, but they’d need to find people willing to offer enough money.

Madueke feels like he will get at least another season to show he’s continued to improve, but it also wouldn’t be totally shocking were he moved on.

Chalobah, having been pushed towards the exit so firmly by the club on a few occasions now, will surely be content to go if Crystal Palace decide to make his successful loan from the start of this season permanent.
