Chelsea have reportedly put NINE first-team stars up for sale as Todd Boehly looks to recoup some money after the club's extravagant January transfer window.
The Blues splashed the cash last month to sign the likes of Enzo Fernandez, Mykhailo Mudryk and Noni Madueke, among others.
They spent a whopping £323.3 million on new talent, with Graham Potter poked fun at in a hilarious moment during a pre-match press conference.

But with all the ingoings, it appears Chelsea will need to trim their squad, with reports suggesting up to NINE players could face the axe at the end of the season.
That's according to ESPN, who claim the likes of Christian Pulisic, Romelu Lukaku and Mason Mount could all leave in the summer transfer window.
Pulisic, who was linked with a move away in January, has played 16 games in the Premier League this season, scoring just one goal.

His contract is set expire in June 2024 and there are no plans to offer an extension, with the club prepared to let the American winger leave.
Romelu Lukaku has had a nightmare spell at Chelsea since returning to the club in a mega transfer. He's currently on loan at Inter Milan, his former side, with the club hoping to offload the player on a permanent deal.
As for Mount, he has been the subject of intense transfer speculation as he continues to negotiate a new contract at Chelsea.

The England international is thought to have 'rejected' a new deal worth £200,000-a-week before he left for the World Cup.
A switch to another Premier League team has been mooted, with Liverpool understood to be interested in snapping up the 24-year-old.
Hakim Ziyech, who almost joined Paris Saint-Germain last month, Kalidou Koulibaly, N'Golo Kante and Mateo Kovacic could also be made available.
Not to mention forwards Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Callum Hudson-Odoi.
