Unsurprisingly, Frank Leboeuf is unhappy with Chelsea and the behaviour of some of their players this season.
Following their 2-1 defeat to Sunderland, Chelsea finished 10th in the Premier League table and missed out on European football.
Enzo Fernandez and Marc Cucurella have both been disgruntled this term, while Joao Pedro is seemingly becoming unsettled as well amid intensifying interest from Barcelona.
You can only keep one, Enzo Fernandez or Cole Palmer. Who are you choosing?

Frank Leboeuf tells Enzo Fernandez he can leave
Leboeuf seems to have had enough, stating that he does not care if Fernandez departs Stamford Bridge in the upcoming transfer window.
Discussing the midfielder on ESPN, the former Chelsea defender said: “I don’t know if it’s going to be his last game. I’ve never been a big fan of Enzo Fernandez, not because of his football, because of his way of behaviour and different behaviours. So I don’t care if he goes.”
Fernandez has probably been Chelsea’s second-best player this season behind Pedro. In fact, only the Brazilian has scored more goals than him.

Fernandez has managed to net 15 goals in all competitions, which is even more than what Cole Palmer has registered.
Even so, Leboeuf does not seem too bothered about the prospect of the 25-year-old leaving west London.
It was recently claimed that newly-crowned Premier League champions Arsenal have made an enquiry for Fernandez, but that appears to be a non-starter.
Where Enzo Fernandez could end up this summer
While a move to Arsenal seems highly unlikely, Fernandez could still join another Premier League club when the transfer window opens.
Manchester City are also interested in Fernandez, and if a switch to them does not open up, the Argentine should have options abroad.
Fernandez has already refused to rule out a transfer to Real Madrid, while he is also likely to view Paris Saint-Germain as an attractive destination.
PSG are another top side who are thought to be interested in Fernandez. With all of these elite clubs keen on him, you cannot think of a reason for why the Argentina international would want to stay at Chelsea, who could not even qualify for the Conference League.
Hopefully Fernandez stays, but if he does not, Leboeuf will certainly not care.
