"Don't sell them!" — Mauricio Pochettino names FIVE Chelsea players who should NEVER be sold in the summer.

 With Chelsea set to rebuild the team under Mauricio Pochettino, the Argentine has named FIVE key players Todd Boehly must retain should he be appointed coach.

Mauricio Pochettino is leading the race to be Chelsea's new Coach and per new reports, it's only a matter of official announcement.  The Argentine has been out of a job since he left Paris Saint-Germain following their Ligue 1 title success in the 2021/22 season.

Todd Boehly is looking to sell a number of players this summer as he aims to trim down the senior squad. Frank Lampard is set to remain in charge until the end of the season but reports have suggested that Pochettino could be announced as Graham Potter's permanent successor as early as this week.

There are a few contract concerns facing the Blues with N'Golo Kante's current deal set to expire this summer.  Mason Mount remains in talks over a new contract at Stamford Bridge, but Liverpool remain seriously interested in signing the 24-year-old.

The Mirror state that the Argentine wants to keep Kante at Chelsea despite Barcelona, PSG and Bayern Munich all being interested in signing the Frenchman on a free transfer. Pochettino is keen on replicating his rebuilds at Southampton and Tottenham by securing a defensive platform in the team before worrying about the attack.

Chelsea see Kante as a pivotal player in providing the protection Pochettino will need in front of the back four - especially after the Blues' shocking 2022/23 campaign, a large portion of which the Frenchman has missed due to injury. Young defenders Benoit Badiashile and Levi Colwill are thought to be safe from being put up for sale this summer, along with full-backs Reece James and Ben Chilwell.

Colwill has impressed in bursts during his loan spell with Brighton this year and Chelsea are hoping he snubs interest from Manchester City and Liverpool this summer to remain at Stamford Bridge and become a regular first-team player. Pochettino is looking to make a change in the goalkeeper position with Edouard Mendy and Kepa Arrizabalaga failing to show they deserve to be starting long-term for the Blues.

The former Spurs and PSG boss would also like to add a new central midfielder and striker to support the likes of Enzo Fernandez, Kante, Raheem Sterling, Noni Madueke and Mykhailo Mudryk. Christopher Nkunku is set to complete a move to Chelsea this summer after signing a pre-contract agreement with the Blues earlier this season.

CONFIRMED: Todd Boehly finally decides on FIVE players who will be leaving Stamford Bridge in the summer.

 Todd Boehly has decided he will offload five Chelsea players.  Since taking over as Co-owner of Chelsea, it has not clicked for Todd Boehly despite splashing the cash to sign some of the big names in world football.  Consecutive run of losses and sloppy display from players are two core reasons the Blues will be considering a squad overhaul this summer, and five players will be offloaded. According to a report from the Spanish publication SPORT, it is claimed that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Hakim Ziyech, Mason Mount, Conor Gallagher and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are being lined up for sale which could raise a whopping £129 million. If the market values of the players in question are met, it would provide the incoming Chelsea manager with a hefty transfer chest to spend and bring in a couple of new faces to bolster the squad over the summer.
