Marc Cucurella is the latest Chelsea player to cast doubt on his future in west London.
In a recent interview, the defender slammed Chelsea’s transfer policy, stating that the club are signing too many young players.
When asked about a possible return to Barcelona, Cucurella also failed to rule out a move. At this point, the Blues have to be thinking about potential replacements in the event that the left-back does want to leave Stamford Bridge in the summer.

Myles Lewis-Skelly shines for England Under-21s against Moldova alongside Chelsea’s Josh Acheampong
One left-back Chelsea have been linked with this season is Arsenal’s Myles Lewis-Skelly, who had a very good game for England Under-21s on Tuesday.
Earlier in the campaign, it was claimed that Chelsea were trying to sign Lewis-Skelly, so the 19-year-old is someone they could target if Cucurella does depart.
While it was an U21 game, if any Chelsea scouts were watching Lewis-Skelly at Carrow Road, they would have been impressed with what they saw from the Arsenal youngster.
He was Sofascore’s second-highest rated player on the pitch after Arsenal teammate Ethan Nwaneri.

During the game, Lewis-Skelly managed to provide one assist. In total, he was also able to create two big chances and register two key passes.
Lewis-Skelly did not have to do too much defending. He was afforded more opportunities to attack as England dominated and took them. Overall, it was a good attacking display by the Arsenal academy product.
Against Moldova, Lewis-Skelly lined up alongside Josh Acheampong in defence, and the Chelsea star did not do too badly either.
Acheampong finished the match with seven defensive actions, more than any other England U21 player. He also won all three of his ground duels and three out of four aerial duels.
Lewis-Skelly has started just one game in the Premier League this season, so maybe a move to Acheampong’s Chelsea will appeal to him.
