Chelsea have been inconsistent on the pitch this season, suffering a dismal run this winter with just one win in their last six Premier League games. The Blues lost 2-1 at home to Aston Villa on Saturday, losing a one-goal lead.
Chelsea have been one of the busiest teams in recent transfer windows, bringing in a number of new players to the club. The management has also made a number of transfers, giving current stars plenty of competition for their places from their teammates. However, there are some players who cannot be forced into Enzo Maresca’s plans. And Express Sport takes a look at four players who will never wear a Chelsea jersey again.
raheem sterling
Raheem Sterling has not been in the manager’s plans for a long time and has not even been in the matchday squad this season.
The 31-year-old, who still has 18 months left on his contract, was underwhelming during his loan spell at Arsenal last season.
It is said that he is reluctant to move abroad in the summer as his family is settled in London and he wants to remain in the UK.
Chelsea want to get his wages off their books as soon as possible and will allow him to leave permanently in January if they have a taker.
Axel DiSasi
Axel DiSasi is also a player the Blues are looking to sell, with the 27-year-old centre-back becoming another peripheral figure under Maresca.
Disasi made 31 Premier League appearances during his debut season with the club after joining from Monaco in the summer of 2023.
However, he is one of the players who has not been included in the matchday squad this season after a disappointing loan move to Aston Villa last season.
tilik george
Chelsea are also thought to be open to signing Tyrik George, a 19-year-old winger who struggled to break into the squad at Stamford Bridge.
The teenager has not featured in the Premier League since October and has been linked with a departure in January.
Philip Jorgensen
Goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen has also been linked with a move away from Chelsea in January, with the 23-year-old currently playing second fiddle behind Roberto Sanchez.
Jorgensen is a capable shot-stopper and looks like he has a bright future at the top of the game. And there will be plenty of teams looking to sign the keeper to a permanent contract next year.
