After signing a host of attacking talent so far in the transfer window, Chelsea could now focus on getting rid of some players who are not part of Enzo Maresca’s project.
The Blues recently sold Noni Madueke to Arsenal, but he is not the only player who could be on his way out of Stamford Bridge.
Nicolas Jackson is another player who has been heavily linked with a move away, with Manchester United being a potential destination for the Senegal international.
Jackson’s future at Chelsea has come into serious doubt following the recent arrivals of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro.
While Jackson could still somehow stay at Chelsea next season, there is one player who is certainly on his way out.
Maresca has made it clear that Ben Chilwell is not a part of his plans and is free to leave the club.

Burnley enquire about signing Ben Chilwell from Chelsea
Renowned Chelsea journalist Simon Philips has claimed on his Substack Si Phillips Talks Chelsea that the newly-promoted side have “enquired” about signing Chilwell.
Ever since moving to Chelsea from Leicester City, Chilwell has failed to nail down a spot in the Blues’ starting XI and now looks set for a new club.
If Chilwell’s proposed move to Burnley does go through, he could be an astute signing for the Premier League newcomers, as he possesses invaluable experience of playing in England’s top flight.
