Trio for sale: Romano confirms three high profile Chelsea exits are still possible

Chelsea could be heading for a busy finish to the summer transfer window, with Nicolas Jackson, Liam Delap and Tosin Adarabioyo all available for moves away from Stamford Bridge.

The trio were left out of Chelsea’s squad for their 3-1 pre-season victory over Real Sociedad, a significant decision with the Premier League campaign approaching.

Xabi Alonso has inherited an enormous squad and is now trying to reduce numbers after another expensive summer of recruitment.

Chelsea have already generated substantial income from sales, but further departures are expected before the deadline.

Jackson, Delap and Tosin are available to leave

According to Fabrizio Romano, Jackson, Delap and Tosin are all available for transfer after being omitted from the latest friendly squad.

Jackson appears particularly likely to attract interest. Sky Sports reports that Chelsea value the Senegal international at around £65 million, with Aston Villa among the clubs interested following his loan spell at Bayern Munich.

Delap could also depart despite only joining Chelsea from Ipswich for £30m last summer.

The Blues value him at approximately £50m, with competition for striker places increasing following Danny Welbeck’s arrival.

Tosin’s situation is less clear financially, although Sky Sports confirms there has been interest in the former Fulham centre-back as Alonso attempts to reduce his number of central defenders.
