Two Chelsea players are now closing in on moves away from Stamford Bridge.
This summer, Chelsea have already offloaded the likes of Joao Felix, Noni Madueke and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
However, the Blues do not plan to stop there, with Nicolas Jackson, Christopher Nkunku and Carney Chukwuemeka still on their books, for example.
All three of those players are allowed to leave the club and could do so soon. It has been claimed that Aston Villa have made an enquiry about Nkunku.

Carney Chukwuemeka and Aaron Anselmino set for Borussia Dortmund medical
While Nkunku could remain in the Premier League, Chukwuemeka and Aaron Anselmino are set to play in the Bundesliga this season.
According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, both players will have a medical at Borussia Dortmund on Monday.
Romano has also claimed that Dortmund will be paying €25m (£21.6m) with add-ons to sign Chukwuemeka. As for Anselmino, he will only be joining the German club on a season-long loan.

Despite Levi Colwill’s ACL injury, Chelsea’s plan for Anselmino has always been for the 20-year-old to go out on loan and get some game time.
While Colwill is expected to be out for the majority of the season, Enzo Maresca still has Trevoh Chalobah, Tosin Adarabioyo, Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile as natural centre-back options. Anselmino was always going to find it difficult to break into the first team.

How much money Chelsea paid to sign Carney Chukwuemeka from Aston Villa
Chelsea bought Chukwuemeka back in the 2022 summer transfer window, making him one of the first signings in the Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital era.
Chelsea paid Villa £20m for his signature, meaning that they are set to make a little bit of profit from his sale.
They have already managed to do that with Madueke, Felix and Renato Veiga in what has been an extremely busy transfer window for the club.
While Chelsea are now prioritising exits, there could still be a couple more arrivals amid interest in Xavi Simons and Alejandro Garnacho.
