Chelsea are already working on getting rid of one player.

Due to profit and sustainability rules, Chelsea will likely need to offload some of their assets this summer.

Right now, there are quite a few players who are being linked to other clubs. For example, it has been claimed that the Blues have already offered Marc Cucurella to Real Madrid.

With Mauricio Pochettino having Djordje Petrovic and Robert Sanchez in his squad, Kepa Arrizabalaga is another individual who could depart Stamford Bridge. The goalkeeper is currently at Real Madrid, but the Spanish giants have no intention of keeping him, according to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Like Kepa, Romelu Lukaku is also out on loan, joining AS Roma last summer in a temporary deal.

Chelsea hoping to do £51m deal

If Chelsea really do need to make money this summer, which does look to be the case, then there certainly are players who they can sell.

That, of course, includes Lukaku, who they are already trying to offload.

Journalist Sacha Tavolieri recently claimed on YouTube that Chelsea are in discussions with the Saudi Arabian FA over the potential sale of the striker.

According to Tavolieri, the Blues want €60m (£51m) but know that they may have to settle for less.

Lukaku has not disappointed for Roma this season, scoring 18 goals in 38 appearances, which should help Chelsea to generate interest in the 30-year-old.

Mauricio Pochettino puts trust in Nicolas Jackson

Chelsea did not exactly beg Lukaku to stay last summer, nor did they bring in a centre-forward of his calibre.

They did sign Nicolas Jackson, however, who has potential and has shown that this season.

The 22-year-old Senegal international has scored 12 goals, which is not bad for someone who has just arrived in England.

Jackson is someone Pochettino has put a lot of trust in, with the Argentine handing him 33 appearances in the current campaign.
