Todd Boehly is set to wield the axe ahead of next season.
That’s according to GiveMeSport journalist Dean Jones, who claims the US billionaire is preparing for a clearout that is likely to include winger Callum Hudson-odoi and Conor Gallagher.
“Bayer Leverkusen currently have Hudson-Odoi on loan and there is a strong chance he will be available for transfer at the end of this season,” Jones said.
“[…] Behind Hudson-Odoi there is a feeling local boy Gallagher is the next player from the list most likely to feel in danger – yet sources are also indicating he would be unlikely to want a move abroad. If he becomes available he would probably seek a London transfer.”
Hudson-odoi, 22, has been out of the Blues’ first team picture for quite some time.
Currently out on loan with German side Bayer Leverkusen, the 22-year-old has hardly set the Bundesliga alight – failing to score a single goal in 14 appearances.
Set to return to London at the end of the season, Hudson-odoi will then have just 12 months left on his contract, so this summer will be one of Chelsea’s last chances to secure a transfer fee.
Elsewhere, Gallagher, 23, after returning from an impressive loan spell with Crystal Palace and contrary to Hudson-odoi, has been afforded first-team football this season.
Things haven’t quite worked out for the 23-year-old though. Putting in several underwhelming performances, the Epsom-born midfielder is not expected to become one of the Blues’ mainstays – regardless of who their permanent manager is in the summer.
Following the recent departure of Graham Potter, Frank Lampard is set to remain in charge on a temporary basis until the end of the season.
