After spending heavily during the summer and January transfer windows, Chelsea is expected to undergo a massive overhaul in order to comply with FIFA Fair Play rules. Since Todd Boehly Consortium took over the club, the Blues have signed 14 players and have yet to release the fringe players.
Potter wants to build his own squad, not Tuchel's, so key players like Ziyech and Pulisic are likely to leave. Aside from the trio, one midfielder has already left Stamford Bridge, heading to the Turkish Super League.Chelsea have reached an agreement with Adana for the transfer of forgotten man Tiemoue Bakayoko, according to Sports Journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu's Twitter post. The Frenchman failed to impress at Chelsea under Antonio Conte, prompting him to be loaned out and is now at AC Milan.
He didn't play much in Milan's schudetto success last season, and he hasn't played at all this season under Pioli.

£13.2 million man the ideal right back Chelsea must sign in the January transfer window
Having revitalized their attack, Chelsea are now turning their attention to right-back and midfield positions. Reece James is currently sidelined with a knee injury and Cesar his Azpilicueta does not offer the same offensive threat on offense. To address this issue, Chelsea are looking for his Lyon right-back Malo Gusto at the Olympics.
James' injury against Bournemouth forced Chelsea to reconsider his plans for a January transfer, with right-back also being considered. Gust has emerged as a target for the Blues, with the London club in talks with Lyon. In fact, the Ligue 1 club, wanting to keep the 19-year-old star through the summer, turned down an initial verbal bid. On the player's side, Gust has already agreed a long-term deal with Chelsea, and in January he will be ready to join Bridge at Stamford.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea are hoping to sign Gasto this week after his first offer was rejected, as Gasto already dreams of playing in his league in the Premier League and Stamford said he's looking to move to the bridge. Eager to join Tennant. The explosive 19-year-old is the ideal right-back Chelsea should have. Maro Gusto is the ideal right-back to sign for Chelsea
Full-backs are very important in Graham Potter's system. Chelsea have struggled since the injuries of James and Ben Chilwell, and his part of the reason is that the full-back has not performed as expected. With Chelsea targeting Gust, some parallels can be drawn between him and James.
Like the Englishman, Lyon's right-back likes to come forward to complement Lyon's attack. Defensively, the 19-year-old excels at countering the strength of opposing wingers and winning back the ball with well-timed tackles. He delivers energy on the right flank and integrates well into the passing system. The Frenchman doesn't hesitate to receive passes in tight pockets and is comfortable handling the ball on foot. Noni with his Madueke pace shot to the right flank, the duo could wreak havoc on the enemy defense.
Gust prefers swinging in with accurate crosses rather than cutting the ball into dangerous areas or drilling it aimlessly. In fact, the 19-year-old has the most crosses in the box (25) in Ligue 1 and Europe's Top 5 leagues. Mixed with constant energy and location awareness, Ghast is definitely a player to watch. The 19-year-old has time to develop and Chelsea can provide the right platform for him to thrive and develop into one of the best right-backs in Europe.
He is valued at £13.2million by Transfermarkt, but it is unlikely Lyon will sell his property at such a bargain price.
