It is almost certain that one Chelsea player will not get the opportunity to play under Xabi Alonso next season.
The Blues already have a lot of attackers, including Cole Palmer, Joao Pedro, Estevao Willian and Pedro Neto.
Another could also be added to their squad amid speculation that Chelsea are keen on Jarrod Bowen. It means more than one forward could leave Stamford Bridge this summer.

Chelsea have been linked with both this summer.
Everton considering Tyrique George buy option
Tyrique George is already out of Chelsea’s plans after being loaned to Everton during the second half of the season, and things are unlikely to change.
George’s loan move to Everton has a buy option, and it has been reported by BBC Sport that the Toffees are weighing up whether to trigger it.
According to their report, the versatile attacker could cost £22m. It would go down as pure profit, with George coming through Chelsea’s academy.

Again, he is not the only Chelsea forward who could leave the club permanently this summer. Alejandro Garnacho could also be set for an exit despite only arriving in west London last August.
It is believed that Chelsea will offer Garnacho around to other clubs in a bid to get rid of the winger.
How Tyrique George got on during Everton loan
George got more opportunities at Everton than he was getting at Chelsea. This season, he only made four appearances in the Premier League as a Chelsea player before joining Everton on loan.
Under David Moyes, the 20-year-old was able to make 11 top-flight appearances. However, he only made one start and failed to score a goal or provide a single assist.
Nevertheless, Moyes must see something in him; otherwise, Everton would not be thinking about taking up their buy option.
Whatever the case, George’s Chelsea career appears to be over. It would be a big surprise if the England Under-21 international played in a competitive match for them again.
