Chelsea plan to dump FIFTEEN senior players over summer

Chelsea could dump no less than FIFTEEN of their senior squad this summer in a massive overhaul. The Daily Express says Blues owner Roman Abramovich will tell manager Mourinho to build an attacking side at Chelsea and is ready to back his manager in the transfer market.

Attacking trio Fernando Torres, Demba Ba and Samuel Eto'o will be offloaded.

Other big names at the Bridge could be sold to raise funds, with the outgoing list set to include David Luiz, Ramires, John Obi Mikel and Victor Moses.

England international Ashley Cole is expected to move on a free transfer, although team-mates Frank Lampard and John Terry could stay on.

Everton loanee Romelu Lukaku wants to return to Chelsea but could be sold to Tottenham to help Mourinho pay for new strikers.

Other names among those set to be shipped out are Marko Marin, Oriol Romeu, Gael Kakuta, Josh McEachran, Hilario and Sam Hutchinson.
