Chelsea have stripped Tiemoue Bakayoko, Danny Drinkwater and Ross Barkley of their squad numbers.

The Athletic reports the threesome have all been instructed by Thomas Tuchel to 'organise moves elsewhere' this summer.

And to further demonstrate they have no future in West London, none of the three players have even been given a squad number.

If the three midfielders can be offloaded then it would improve an already successful window for Chelsea.

They have registered a net spend of just £1.5million so far this summer.
