"Don't believe!" Florent Malouda reveals why Chelsea are selling their top talents to rival clubs.

 Transfer: Malouda reveals why Chelsea are selling top stars to rival clubs.

Former Chelsea star Florent Malouda has stated his view on why top players are leaving Chelsea this summer.

The former France international said that the club are selling ‘better’ players to rival clubs because those players do not believe in the vision and project under Todd Boehly.

Jorginho joined Arsenal in January, while Mateo Kovacic just joined Premier League team Manchester City, and Kai Havertz has signed for north London side, Arsenal. 

The Blues are having a clearance sale this summer as they attempt to comply with Financial Fair Play and avoid sanctions from football authorities.

N’Golo Kante and Kalidou Koulibaly have already left the Stamford Bridge outfit for Saudi Pro League clubs, and more are to follow.

Manchester United have signed Mason Mount while Hakim Ziyech is also expected to leave.

“Chelsea didn’t sell players to rivals under Roman Abramovich for one simple reason: the club was very competitive,” Malouda told Genting Casino.

“Players wanted to stay because there was a winning mentality—Chelsea were always competing for the biggest prizes.

“What we’re seeing at the moment, selling players to rivals, isn’t solely to do with FFP; this is because the players that are going to move on don’t really believe in what is happening at the club.”

OUR VIEW: 

Florent Malouda may have a point. We saw Kai Havertz move to Chelsea's London rivals, Arsenal; and Kovacic leaving for Manchester City. Mason Mount left for Manchester United and it just clearly shows how these players are interested in the project these already flourishing teams have and do not believe in the current long-term project of Todd Boehly and Mauricio Pochettino. 

With so many fresh legs coming in, it remains to be seen how successful Todd Boehly's project will turn out.

Antonio Conte tells Tottenham to hijack deal for Chelsea target.

 Antonio Conte has told Tottenham to sign the Bayer Leverkusen star. Per Tuttomercatoweb, Antonio Conte has asked Tottenham to sign Bayer Leverkusen defender, Piero Hincapie who is also a Chelsea target.  Hincapie, 20, featured in three of Ecuador's opening games in the world cup and his impressive performance for both club and country has attracted interest from both London clubs.  Chelsea are said to be in the market for a left-sided central defender and per reports, have opened talks with the likes of Josko Gvardiol and AS Monaco's Benoit Bardiashile, but Hincapie is also a player of interest.  The Blues could now face stiff competition from Tottenham as Spurs boss Conte has identified Hincapie as a player who would suit his style of play.
