Chelsea rumours
1) Petr Cech
Linked with a surprise move to rivals Arsenal, and with Manchester United also interested, Petr Cech is sure to leave Chelsea this summer after losing his place in Mourinho’s starting lineup.
2) Ramires
A decent midfielder, but one no longer commanding a starting place often enough, Ramires has been linked with a possible move to Juventus as Chelsea chase Paul Pogba.
3) Oscar
Wanted by Liverpool in a surprise move, it could be that Brazilian playmaker Oscar is another big name to make way at Chelsea this summer as the Blues eye players like Pogba and Koke in the attacking midfield department.
4) Loic Remy
A good backup striker, but one who has looked a little injury prone this season, the Frenchman is rumoured to be used by Chelsea as part of a deal to sign Lyon star Alexandre Lacazette.
5) Kurt Zouma
Linked with a move to Serie A side Sampdoria, youngster Kurt Zouma faces a fight to break into the Chelsea first-team and might benefit from some time out on loan, though the Italians may want the deal to be permanent.
6) Juan Cuadrado
Linked with a return to Italy with Inter Milan, Napoli or AS Roma, Juan Cuadrado has struggled to adapt at Chelsea since his January move from Fiorentina and could make a quick exit from Stamford Bridge.
7) Filipe Luis
Another failed signing from the season just gone, Filipe Luis has not made any impact at Chelsea since joining from Atletico Madrid and has been linked with a return to his old club.
8) John Obi Mikel
Finally, John Obi Mikel could be offloaded after another season of struggling to get into the side, with Real Madrid linked as shock admirers of the Nigerian international.
