Chelsea hoping to raise £160 MILLION from summer sales

Chelsea are aiming to raise £160 MILLION from summer sales to help boost their transfer kitty.

Tiemoue Bakayoko, Emerson Palmieri, Davide Zappacosta, Danny Drinkwater, Michy Batshuayi and Victor Moses have all been made aware that they do not feature in Lampard's future plans.

But the club will have to accept a major hit on all six of the surplus stars just to get them off the wage bill.

The Sun says Frank Lampard's hit-list is French international midfielder Bakayoko, who cost Chelsea £40million when they signed him from Monaco three years ago but has spent the last two seasons out on loan.

He is currently back at former club Monaco, who have a £35million buy-back clause but are not going to take up the option to sign him on a permanent basis.
