Chelsea could send one of their outcasts to another Premier League club on loan before the transfer window closes.
The Blues have a whole host of players that they are still trying to get rid of, including Christopher Nkunku, Raheem Sterling, Ben Chilwell and Axel Disasi.
Nicolas Jackson could also depart Stamford Bridge following the arrivals of Joao Pedro and Liam Delap.
Jamie O’Hara thinks Jackson would excel at Everton, but it is unlikely that the Toffees will be able to afford him.

Bournemouth in talks with Chelsea to sign Axel Disasi
Jackson and Disasi are two signings that Chelsea made in the 2023 summer transfer window, but neither player is part of Enzo Maresca‘s long-term plans.
Disasi could now join Bournemouth, with the Cherries being just one club who are currently interested in the defender.
According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Bournemouth have started talks with Chelsea over signing Disasi on loan with an option to buy.

Chelsea bought Disasi from AS Monaco for around £39m, but the Blues will find it difficult to recoup that after the player’s struggles last season.
Disasi barely played for the Blues during the first half of the 2024/25 campaign before being loaned out to Aston Villa, where he was not entirely convincing.
Villa currently have no interest in re-signing Disasi following his loan spell at Villa Park.

Other Premier League clubs also interested in Axel Disasi
If Disasi wants to stay in England, Bournemouth may not be his only option. The Chelsea Chronicle has been told that Wolverhampton Wanderers are also interested in Disasi.
Newcastle United have also been linked with Disasi, but they recently signed Malick Thiaw from AC Milan.
It is not quite clear yet where the Frenchman will end up, but his Chelsea career certainly looks over. Disasi is not with the first team right now despite Maresca currently being without Levi Colwill following his ACL injury.
