3 players Chelsea should offload before the transfer window shuts 

#1 Marcos Alonso

Chelsea FC v AFC Bournemouth - Premier League

Marcos Alonso is one of the deadliest attack-minded wing backs in the English game, owing to his astonishing finishing abilities and willingness to support the scheme of things in the final third.

However, he came under severe scrutiny for lazy, absurd and absent-minded defending last season when in a four-man back line, when there were just two central defenders who were made to stretch out of their positions in order to protect the area Alonso vacated, and not three.

It's quite easy to spin off the back of the Spaniard, and teams have decoded the weakness to full effect. More often than not, the 28-year-old appears extremely slow off the ball while running back as well.

With Kenedy's pace, craft and equivocal attacking acumen back in the side to cover for Emerson, it might be time to relieve Alonso off his duties. Since he has a contract that runs till 2023, the club might fetch a large sum too.
