5 players who could leave Chelsea this summer

#3 Andreas Christensen

Chelsea v Aston Villa - Premier League

Andreas Christensen's situation at Chelsea is a highly complicated one as the Danish star had earlier agreed to a new deal before abruptly deciding to halt things. The defender was in talks with the club to renew his contract, and things went smoothly; however, there were reportedly issues with his agents just before putting pen to paper.

Now, things seem to have died down, and there have been no talks between the player, his agents, and the club. Moreover, the defender has reportedly hired a new agency (Kinpartners-Kinfootball) to handle his contract talks.

Barcelona are now leading the chase to land Christensen this summer on a free transfer.

#2 Kepa Arrizabalaga

Brighton & Hove Albion v Chelsea - Premier League

Thomas Tuchel has revived Kepa Arrizabalaga's career, but there are no signs of him getting the #1 jersey yet. The Spaniard's confidence is back, and he has done well for the club every time he is on the pitch.

Kepa has not spent two seasons on the bench for Chelsea, and it is doubtful he will spend another one as a deputy to Edouard Mendy. The record signing is now expected to leave Stamford Bridge in the summer, but it is unclear if he will be moving on loan or a permanent deal.

He has over three years left on his current contract, and the Blues are not looking to keep him at the club against his wishes. Reports earlier this month suggested Tuchel was open to letting Kepa leave if he wanted to play regular football from next season.

Lazio and Sevilla have been linked with Kepa, but there are no concrete indications right now that a move is on the cards for either club.

#1 Timo Werner

Tottenham Hotspur v Chelsea - Carabao Cup Semi Final Second Leg

Chelsea activated Timo Werner's release clause with a lot of hope, but the German has failed to deliver in front of goal. While he has been excellent in making runs and spaces for his teammates, the goals have dried up.

In recent games, the former RB Leipzig star has hardly made starts, and rumors suggest his future at the club is in the balance.

German clubs have been linked with the Chelsea star and should he fail to make an impact in the coming months, a move back to the Bundesliga could well and truly be on the cards.

Tuchel is reportedly keen on reuniting with his former player Ousmane Dembele, and if he is to be signed, the Blues are very likely to cut their losses on Werner and sell him this summer.
