Chelsea boss Sarri ready to sell three senior players

Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri is ready to oversee the sales of three senior players.

The Daily Star says Chelsea are set to let the likes of Gary Cahill, Danny Drinkwater and Victor Moses go in January after failing to make an impact under Maurizio Sarri.

The Italian arrived in west London with a reputation of deploying possession-based football and playing out from the back.

And it has worked successfully so far, with the Blues currently fourth in the Premier League and into the next round of the Europa League.

However, with a switch in formation to 4-3-3 from Antonio Conte's 3-4-3 it has left some players alienated.

The likes of Cahill and Moses were regulars under Sarri's predecessor while Drinkwater has always been an uneasy fit at Stamford Bridge.
