3 players Chelsea should sell right away

Chelsea started the season well under Maurizio Sarri, beating Huddersfield by 3 goals. They carried on their good start by beating Arsenal 3-2 at Stamford Bridge.

While Chelsea's defense looked very shaky against Arsenal, their midfield looked good and the players seem to be adapting quickly to the manner in which Sarri expects them to play.

Morata opened his account for the season by scoring a good goal against Arsenal. Jorginho has been impressive and Eden Hazard has already recorded two assists without even starting a game.

With a few easy fixtures coming up Chelsea will be looking to not drop too many points and stay unbeaten for as long as possible.

Chelsea was quite active in the transfer window as they signed Jorginho, Kovacic, Kepa, and Robb Green.

While they may not have a squad as good as Manchester City or Liverpool, they have quite a deep squad. One of the problems with having deep squads is that not everyone gets to play.

With Maurizio Sarri deploying a 4-3-3 system, a lot of the players who played under Conte are going to warm the bench this season.

In this article, we look at three players who should leave Chelsea before the European transfer window closes so that they can get some playing time.

#1 Danny Drinkwater

Drinkwater

The Chelsea midfield is stacked. Chelsea will play a 4-3-3 and so there is only room for three players in that midfield. One player who is going to struggle to find a place there is Danny Drinkwater.

Drinkwater never really settled at Chelsea and it does not seem like he will any time soon. To get some playing time Drinkwater needs to compete with Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Ross Barkley, Jorginho, Cesc Fabregas, Ngolo Kante, and Kovacic.

From these players, Kante and Jorginho are almost expected to start. That leaves one spot for four players.

With better offensive and defensive midfielders available at Chelsea, it does not seem likely that Danny Drinkwater will get too much playing time at Chelsea. His only hope would be that Sarri rotates the squad.

#2 Victor Moses

Victor Moses

Victor Moses is another player who will struggle to find a place in the Chelsea squad. As Chelsea has reverted to a back 4 his wing-back role has disappeared.

Moses is a willing runner but Sarri will be looking for more skill on the right wing and hence deploying him there would be counterproductive. Moses will also have to beat Willian, Pedro and Hudson Odoi to find a place on the right wing.

He may be a back up for Azpilicueta but Zappacosta would be a better fit. Zappacosta is a better defender than Moses and hence would better suit the right-back role.

While Moses is a great player, this might just be the case of not finding the right role in the team. Considering the minuscule time Moses is going to get he should try to leave Chelsea.

#3 Gary Cahill

Cahill

Gary Cahill did not play much for England at the World cup and it looks like he is going to get the same treatment at Chelsea.

Sarri likes his centre-backs to be good ball players and that, unfortunately, is not one of Cahill's strengths. Added to that Cahill is 32 and is only getting slower.

With the 4-4-3 there is a place for only two center-backs and Cahill has a lot of competition for those positions. He will have to beat David Luiz, Rudiger, Ampadu and Christensen for a place there.

While Cahill has been excellent for Chelsea but leaving now will be a good option as he may avoid spending an entire season on the bench.
