Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck revealed yesterday that there could be as many as five players coming and going in the summer.

"You could expect that several players will leave and that several players will come in," Buck said. "I don't know if that is three, four or five, but something in that neighbourhood."

Blues boss Guus Hiddink is willing to offer his advice and said: "I'm not involved in those strategic discussions, but if I can be of any help, I'm not saying no. I have been here now and have these relations, but I'm not here to have discussions as to which way to go."
