It’s been a busy summer at Stamford Bridge with Chelsea one of the most active teams in the transfer market. And the day of the deadline is shaping up to be no different for the Blues.
Large signings have been made and several departures have been sanctioned such as Frank Lampard He tries to mold his team into one capable of at least closing the gap with Liverpool at the top of the Premier League.
Still Chelsea There are still many players who put their books down before the window closes at 11pm on Monday night. There may even be one or two outings that disappoint fans.
So who could leave Chelsea on the deadline?
Callum Hudson-Odoi
For the second summer in a row, Bayern Munich are doing their best to sign what is possibly Chelsea’s most exciting academy graduate.
Just over twelve months ago the German club was disappointed in their persecution and Hudson-Odoi He would then sign a new five-year contract with the Blues while recovering from an Achilles tendon injury.
There is no doubt that the winger’s 2019/20 campaign was affected by that injury. Hudson-Odoi’s game lacked the explosiveness that characterized his early performances for the Blues, and some fans criticized the 19-year-old.

Hudson-Odoi has already looked sharper this season, but he has yet to convince Lampard that he deserves a career on the wing after the arrivals of Timo Werner , Kai havertz , and the currently injured Hakim Ziyech .
That is why Bayern have rekindled their interest. According to The athletic , the German team made a one-season loan offer to Chelsea that included an option to make the deal permanent for a fee in excess of £ 70 million.
That was rejected by the Blues. But Bayern are prepared to make a second offer on the day of the deadline, and head coach Hansi Flick spoke enthusiastically about Hudson-Odoi this weekend.
“He is one of the greatest talents in that position. He can play like a number 10 and it is totally legitimate that we at Bayern Munich are interested in him. “
Lampard stated after Chelsea’s win against Crystal Palace that he could not definitively rule out Hudson-Odoi leaving Stamford Bridge.
However, one consolation for Blues fans is, according to The Athletic, that the England international will not push to walk away.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek
The last 18 months have been very difficult for the midfielder. After years of hard work to establish himself in Chelsea’s starting XI, Loftus-Cheek I had finally made it low Maurizio Sarri .
But then, in a charity game against the New England Revolution in May 2019, one held before that season’s Europa League final, the England international tore his Achilles tendon.
It was an injury that kept Loftus-Cheek out of action for ten months. And just as he was about to return, the Premier League was suspended by Covid-19.
By the time he returned to Aston Villa in June, 13 months had passed. Understandably, Loftus-Cheek was rusty and that was the case with the remaining accessories after closing.
Going into the preseason was expected to allow Loftus-Cheek to regain his sharpness. However, he still looked off-beat when he gave an opening against Brighton and Hove Albion, Chelsea’s first game of the season.
He hasn’t appeared for the Blues in the Premier League since then, and the club is prepared to let him go on loan before the transfer window closes.
Southampton is reportedly interested and a move to the South Coast could allow Loftus-Cheek to play the games he desperately needs to get his career back on track.
Antonio rudiger
The German center-back spent most of the summer as Chelsea’s agent, helping to convince compatriots Timo Werner and Kai Havertz to move to Stamford Bridge.
He then started Chelsea’s first game of the season in Brighton and at the time it seemed unlikely that the center-back would leave Stamford Bridge.
But then he was left out of the call-up on game day against Liverpool. And West Bromwich Albion. And Crystal Palace. The message was clear: Rudiger it was expendable.
The 27-year-old may be loaned out if he signs an extension to his contract, which has two years to run. Tottenham have been linked, but Lampard does not want Rudiger to be sent to a rival in the top six, according to Sky sports .
Interest in Rudiger has been reported from PSG, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Barcelona and German clubs. It will likely be removed before the window closes.
Jorginho
By the time Sarri left Chelsea for Juventus, the future of Jorginho at Stamford Bridge has been in doubt.
Yes, he has been a regular under Lampard, but it must not be forgotten that he was attentive from the bench during most of the games after the closing.
The move to Juventus was constantly discussed last season, but Sarri’s departure at the end of the campaign killed that interest.
However, last week have been reports that Arsenal will make a move for the 28-year-old on the deadline day after failing to get the Houssem Aouar.
It is certainly a deal to watch with interest.
Marcos Alonso
No matter the coach, one thing has always been clear Alonso : he is much, much better as a winger than a winger.
This is why Lampard has never fully sold himself to Spanish and why he was so determined to bring Ben chilwell from Leicester City this summer.
The England international’s heel injury gave Alonso a suspension of execution in the starting eleven, but after a horror show against West Brom in which he made mistakes by two goals, he was stopped at halftime and then had a post-game fight with Lampard , his time at Stamford Bridge was over.
Alonso was excluded from the call-up against Tottenham midweek and Crystal Palace and will be allowed to leave, either permanently or on loan, if the appropriate offer is made.
Antonio Conte’s Inter Milan have been linked with the 29-year-old throughout the summer and a deadline-day deal is possible.
Emerson
The other untrustworthy Chelsea left-back.
Like Alonso, poor defensive performances last season caused Lampard to lose faith in the Italian and a move away from Stamford Bridge was expected for much of the transfer window.
Inter Milan is aware of their situation and if they do not get Alsono, an offer for Emerson it can materialize. West Ham United was also tied to a loan deal earlier this summer.
Malang sarr
This will not be a surprise to Chelsea fans. Sarr he joined the Blues on a free transfer earlier this summer after leaving Nice at the end of his contract.
In his statement announcing his signing, Chelsea stated that the 21-year-old would be loaned out this season. That hasn’t happened yet, but it should happen on the day of the deadline,
French St Etienne and Serie A Sampdoria have been linked with the central defender.
Tiemoue Bakayoko
The French midfielder has never lived up to the £ 40m Chelsea paid Monaco in 2017 to sign him, and is expected to embark on his third loan change in three seasons.
Bakayoko He was inclined to return to AC Milan, where he spent the 2018/19 campaign, but a loan to Napoli has since emerged.
He would bond with former Milan boss Gennaro Gattuso in Naples, an intriguing prospect given the two had a combustible relationship at San Siro.
“Anyone can insult me, but we’ll see each other later and we’ll see each other face to face,” Gattuso said of Bakayoko after the midfielder swore in the Italian’s direction during a win over Bologna in May 2019.
“I want to talk to him in the locker room and in my language, which I can’t do on television.
“At the end of the year we will give report cards, like in school, and we will see who has been good and who has been bad.”
Danny Drinkwater
The midfielder arrived at Chelsea in the same transfer window as Bakayoko and has endured an equally miserable time.

Drinking water He appeared sporadically under Conte, was frozen by Sarri and was loaned out last summer after failing to beat Lampard.
A stint at Burnley ended in ignominy: His season-long loan was cut short in January and he spent three months injured after an incident at a nightclub, and a temporary move to Aston Villa saw his teammate Jota of Drinkwater at the training.
Drinkwater, who was also convicted of driving under the influence in April 2019, spoke about his problems in an interview with The Telegraph earlier this summer.
“I have so much more to give,” he said. “I am open to traveling abroad, although it will be difficult with my son. But I hope to see him again and hopefully he would understand that for a year I needed to fix my career again.
“I need an anchor and I need to order one side of my life, so if I can order my football, even if it is abroad, that will help in the long run. I need something to understand. “
Drinkwater may have that opportunity. According to reports in Spain , Valencia is considering the loan of the former England international.
