Chelsea are expecting a busy summer transfer window as the club look to give Xabi Alonso an enormous helping hand in his debut season as manager.
Sources close to the club are anticipating a summer full of ins and outs at Stamford Bridge. One source actually used the word 'surgery' when asked about the club's plans in the upcoming transfer window; suggesting Alonso will sanction a lot of incomings and outgoings over the coming months.
The summer transfer window - at the time of writing - is not officially open yet but the speculation is endless. Also, Chelsea have already announced four players will be departing west London this summer.
