Chelsea are reportedly looking to conduct a deadline day clear-out with the likes of Antonio Rudiger, Marcos Alonso, Victor Moses and Emerson Palmieri up for sale.

Chelsea are reportedly still attempting to offload a number of players before tonight's 11pm transfer deadline.

The Blues have been one of the most active clubs in this summer's window, spending well over £200m on the likes of Kai Havertz, Timo Werner, Ben Chilwell, Thiago Silva, Edouard Mendy, Hakim Ziyech, Malang Sarr and Xavier Mbuyamba.

Focus has now switched to selling players as manager Frank Lampard looks to trim his squad, and the Daily Mail reports that the likes of Antonio Rudiger, Marcos Alonso and Victor Moses are all on the transfer list.

Rudiger has been linked with a loan switch to AC Milan, Tottenham Hotspur and Roma, while Alonso has fallen behind new arrival Chilwell in the pecking order.

Other fringe players such as Emerson Palmieri and Danny Drinkwater are also available to leave Stamford Bridge ahead of tonight's deadline.

Chelsea have raised more than £65m from player sales already this summer, with the bulk of that coming from Alvaro Morata's move to Atletico Madrid.
