The 7 Chelsea players Frank Lampard should sell to make space for Sancho and Coutinho

This summer could be another one of change for Chelsea as Frank Lampard looks to mould his squad.

It could be a strange transfer window, however, with the global uncertainty due to the coronavirus pandemic having disrupted the football season.

No one is quite sure about how the transfer window will look, with no decision made yet over if the 2019/20 season will be completed and the next campaign will start.

However, if there is to be a normal transfer window, Chelsea fans have made it clear about which players they would let go this summer.

football.london asked Blues supporters to vote on who should be kept and who should be sold to make space for any new signings.

When it comes to goalkeepers, Blues supporters would be willing to let Willy Caballero leave, with the Argentine's contract up in the summer.

Meanwhile, the only defender Chelsea fans would let go is Emerson Palmieri, with the Italy international once again failing to really pin down a starting spot.

As for midfielders, Marco van Ginkel's time at Chelsea has been dominated with loan spells and injuries, and with his contract also done in the summer, the Blues supporters would vote to let him go.
Meanwhile, Ross Barkley has also struggled to really make an impression, and despite a few decent performances he has lacked the consistency of a starting place.

The forward line is set to be the most interesting this summer, with Frank Lampard keen on adding to his attacking options.

To make space for the likes of Philippe Coutinho and Jadon Sancho, Blues supporters would be ready to let Michy Batshuayi be sold this summer.

Pedro and Willian also have contracts which run out this summer, and Chelsea fans don't want to see their contracts renewed and, instead, be let go.
