Published on July 25, 2019, Chelsea is now on its 13th manager since Roman Abramovich took over the club in 2003, with the Russian's influence evident in most transfer windows.

However, this time, the Blues are staring down the barrel of a two-transfer window ban for allegedly breaching Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules in their youth transfers.

Following the ban, Chelsea is likely to drift away from their traditional 'out with the old and in with the new' approach of changing players seasonally.

Frank Lampard must focus on building a team and making the most of the squad he has, which boasts exceptional talent with only Eden Hazard missing, having been acquired by Real Madrid.

With the house still full, despite releasing 21 players from both the first team and academy, here are five players Lampard has no need for and should sell, according to Four Four Two.

Danny Drinkwater

Tiemoue Bakayoko

Michy Batshuayi

David Luiz

Davide Zappacosta
