 Can chealsea £180m unwanted talent fight way back into Tuchel's plans .?



Chelsea have £180m of unwanted talent draining £700,000-A-WEEK out of Stamford Bridge but they can't find a single buyer... so, do Batshuayi, Barkley and Co have any future under Thomas Tuchel?


Chelsea are not the only side who are struggling to sell their 'deadwood' this summer, but Thomas Tuchel will realise his side can ill-afford such an affliction right now.


The German is struggling to hide his frustration with the Blues' pre-season preparations out in the States - a 4-0 thumping at the hands of Arsenal in Orlando was the latest setback in what has been a largely unhappy tour.


A report in The Telegraph suggests the German boss could also be stuck with unwanted players for the upcoming campaign because top-flight clubs are reluctant to strike a deal with the Premier League giants for their out-of-form stars.


It is a blow for Tuchel who will be aware of the impact of having disillusioned players around the squad during the course of the season and the negative atmosphere it can create. 


It is also a worrying prospect if Chelsea want further incomings to follow Sterling and Koulibaly, with Todd Boehly perhaps more conscious than his predecessor of balancing the books.


The Telegraph cite six stars whose time at the Bridge is fast running out; Michy Batshuayi, Ross Barkley, Kenedy, Timo Werner, Malang Sarr and Kepa Arrizabalaga. 


So do any have a possible future in west London? What are Tuchel's prospects of getting rid of them to make way for further signings?


Here, Sportsmail looks at what the future could hold for the half-dozen stars who the Blues are struggling to offload.


Despite the arrival of Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly, the 48-year-old has laid into his squad for a 'lack of commitment', even from those he does hold as part of his plans this season.
