Forgotten man finally leaves Chelsea as they confirm released players

METRO

Chelsea have confirmed the players that are leaving the club as their contracts expire this summer, with Tiemoue Bakayoko’s time at the club finally coming to an end.

The midfielder signed for the Blues from Monaco in 2017 for £40m but although he has been a Chelsea player since then, he has not played for the club since the 2017/18 season.

The 28-year-old played 43 times for the west London club that season, but clearly did not do enough to impress and has since been sent out on a string of loan moves.

He has spent two stints at AC Milan, returned to Monaco for a season and also spent a year with Napoli with the highlight being a Serie A title with Milan in 2021.

His contract with Chelsea has now come to an end, with the club saying in a statement: ‘We thank Tiemoue for his contribution during his season at Stamford Bridge.’

The Blues have also released Derrick Abu, Prince Adegoke, Nathan Baxter, Juan Carlos Familia-Castillo, Bryan Fiabema, Joe Haigh, Henry Lawrence, Sam McClelland, Dujon Sterling, Amari Thomas Silko, Ethan Wady and Jayden Wareham.

Chelsea are expected to sell a number of players this summer as well, with the likes of Mason Mount, Kai Havertz, Conor Gallagher and Christian Pulisic all likely to leave and there may well be more to follow them.

Mauricio Pochettino needs to trim down a bloated squad, while he will also want to bring in some signings of his own, with Chelsea in need of a striker, while they have also been heavily linked with Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo.
