Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has not ruled out players leaving before the transfer window closes tonight.
While it now looks highly unlikely that Chelsea will be signing anyone, it appears that there could still be some departures on deadline day.
Mauricio Pochettino was asked about the possibility of players leaving in his post-match press conference yesterday, with football.london sharing his response.
His side were beaten 4-1 by Liverpool at Anfield in a game to forget.
Chelsea are next in action on Sunday when they welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers to Stamford Bridge.
Mauricio Pochettino not ruling out Chelsea exits
Pochettino has not ruled out his squad being trimmed down today.
When asked is anyone leaving before the transfer market shuts, the Chelsea boss said: “To be honest, I cannot say yes or not. Always some things appear in the last moment, surprise or not, and we need to be aware of that. At the moment, I can tell you there is nothing moving at the moment.”
Who could leave Chelsea on deadline day?
There very well could be a departure or two at Stamford Bridge today.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Andrey Santos is set to join Strasbourg on loan after approving a move to the French club.
The midfielder was recalled earlier this month after an unsuccessful loan spell at Nottingham Forest. There, he made just one appearance in the Premier League.
Another player who could leave Pochettino’s squad before the end of the day is Armando Broja. Fulham are likely to make a bid for the striker, reports the Daily Mail.
Broja joining Fulham or another club would leave Nicolas Jackson as the only natural No.9 at Stamford Bridge. Having made just six starts in the top flight this season, though, the 22-year-old may fancy the move.
