Chelsea have had a decent season so far as they currently sit fourth in the Premier League, with a three-point lead over fifth-placed Manchester United. <\/p>\n\n\n
Due to a two-window transfer ban after 150 rule breaches involving 69 academy players over several seasons, Chelsea couldn\u2019t get anyone on board last summer and were partially handicapped in terms of replacing their top marksman, Eden Hazard, who completed his dream move to Real Madrid.<\/p>\n\n\n
Inevitably, manager Frank Lampard had to rely more on youth power, which ensured the rise of several starlets like Tammy Abraham, Mason Mount and Fikayo Tomori among others. <\/p>\n\n\n
Although the ban was reduced by the Court of Arbitration of Sports back in December, Chelsea<\/a> didn\u2019t sign anyone in the winter transfer window; such has been the impact of their budding talents.<\/p>\n\n\n With elimination from the UEFA Champions League looming on the horizon, following their 3-0 defeat against Bayern Munich in the Round of 16 first leg, Chelsea\u2019s season is far from over as they remain in contention in the FA Cup and are still in the race to secure a top-four finish to ensure Champions League football returns to Stamford Bridge next season.<\/p>\n\n\n The Blues have already started preparing for next season, with the Premier League outfit announcing the signing of Ajax midfielder Hakim Ziyech, who will join the London giants on July 1, in February. Chelsea boss Frank Lampard will surely look to offload some players to make way for new faces next season.<\/p>\n\n\n And so, here is a list of three players who could leave Chelsea in the upcoming transfer window.<\/p>\n\n\n Chelsea midfielder Jorginho spent three seasons with current Juventus manager, Maurizio Sarri at Napoli, before following him to Chelsea in the summer of 2018. The 28-year-old took no time to settle in England, making history in his second Premier League<\/a> appearance by completing 158 passes – the highest by any Chelsea player in a single league match.<\/p>\n\n\n Known for his versatility and vision, Jorginho is best-suited when he occupies the role of a central midfielder in a three-man midfield set-up, dictating terms from the middle of the park with his technique and ice-cool composure on the ball. The Italian international has been a regular starter for Frank Lampard this season, appearing 37 times across all competitions so far.<\/p>\n\n\n#3 Jorginho<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
