EPL: Pochettino puts up five Chelsea players for sale

According to the report, Chelsea is considering a one-in-one-out transfer policy when the transfer market opens in January

Centre-backs Malang Sarr and Trevoh Chalobah are both reportedly up for sale, as is Ian Maatsen, the left-back who rejected a switch to newly promoted Burnley during the summer.

Armando Broja and Noni Madueke may also seek new challenges elsewhere.

This is to avoid a recurrence of the problems that eventually cost Graham Potter his job.

During Potter’s tenure as manager, the Blues made six acquisitions during the winter transfer window.

Only Jorginho, who joined Arsenal, departed the first-team squad, resulting in a bloated roster in which big-name players were routinely left out of matchday teams.
