Transfer: Xabi Alonso to allow five Chelsea players leave club

Chelsea defender, Tosin Adarabioyo, is set to leave the Premier League club.

Marseille and Benfica are among the clubs interested in signing Adarabioyo this summer.

The centre-back was not included in Saturay’s pre-season friendly squad against Real Sociedad.

New Chelsea head coach, Xabi Alonso, has counted on Adarabioyo in pre-season up until now.

However, the Blues have been making changes at centre-back this summer, which has seen the arrival of Maxence Lacroix.

Strikers, Liam Delap and Nicolas Jackson are also likely to leave Chelsea in the next fortnight, after they also missed Saturday’s friendly.

Winger, Mykhailo Mudryk could also go on loan, while Pedro Neto is another player who could leave Stamford Bridge.
