Chelsea could transfer list up to 11 players in order to fund a move for Inter Milan's star striker Romelu Lukaku.

The Blue's have turned their attention to Lukaku after their pursuit of Erling Haaland appears to have fallen by the wayside this summer.

However, after seeing their bid of £100million plus Marcus Alonso turned down by the Italian giants, Chelsea could look to ship some of their first-team players to raise more funds for the striker.

Inter are unlikely to accept anything less than nine figures for their prized asset.

Ans some first-team players could be on the chopping block to fund the move.

According to The Telegraph, Kurt Zouma is most likely to depart Stamford Bridge during this transfer window.

West Ham are interested in the centre-back's services after Zouma lost his starting spot at Chelsea following the appointment of Thomas Tuchel in January.

Chelsea have been linked with Jules Kounde in recent weeks, and the arrival of the Frenchman could spell the end for his compatriot.

Marcus Alonso is another name that has been placed on the transfer list, and the wing-back was offered to Inter as part of the Lukaku deal.

Tammy Abraham, Callum Hudson-Odoi, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek could all potentially move on before the end of the window.

Tuchel will also look to returning loanees to try and raise some cash.

Ross Barkley, Davide Zappacosta, Michy Batshuayi, Kenedy, Danny Drinkwater, Tiemoue Bakayoko and Baba Rahman have all been deemed surplus to requirements by Tuchel.

The German will hope that shifting the deadwood in the squad will raise enough money to fund moves for Kounde and Lukaku.
