Chelsea’s summer departure includes permanent departures for Ian Maatsen, Conor Gallagher, Lewis Hall, Omari Hutchinson, Diego Moreira, Hakim Ziyech, Malang Sarr, and Thiago Silva.
However, Lesley Ugochukwu, Alfie Gilchrist, Caleb Wiley, Bashir Humphreys, Gabriel Slonina, Aaron Anselmino, and Eddie Beach have all departed on loan deals.
