Chelsea set for firesale as Frank Lampard considers getting rid of eight players - report

Kepa Arrizabalaga

Kepa Arrizabalaga is one of eight Chelsea players who could be sold this summer, according to reports.

The Sun write that Frank Lampard is considering a major overhaul at Stamford Bridge as he attempts to build a team capable of winning the Premier League title.

Chelsea are currently fourth in England's top flight but face a battle to qualify for the Champions League, with Manchester United just three points behind them.

Lampard dropped Kepa, who became the most expensive goalkeeper of all time when Chelsea paid £71.5m to sign him in 2018, earlier this month.

The 25-year-old has failed to convince his manager that he is the long-term answer between the sticks, and could therefore be let go at the end of the season.

Chelsea may also look to move on Jorginho, who cost the club £50m when he joined as Maurizio Sarri's first acquisition.
