Chelsea's transfer ban has been lifted, paving the way for the club to sign new players during the winter window.

However, the arrival of new signings could see Olivier Giroud, Pedro, and Marcos Alonso fall further down the pecking order under Frank Lampard's setup.

As a result, the trio is said to be eyeing an exit from the club in search of more playing time.

Alonso has not been included in Chelsea's last five Premier League matchday squads, and is said to have grown unhappy at Stamford Bridge.

Giroud and Pedro have also struggled for game time, managing just nine appearances in the Premier League this season between them.

With their contracts expiring next summer, the pair will be free to speak to other clubs in January over a possible switch.

Inter are said to be keen on a move for Alonso, while Pedro has been tipped for a move to America.

Giroud, on the other hand, has been linked with several clubs in Italy and Major League Soccer.

Chelsea could face the challenge of keeping the trio beyond January, with the club reportedly set to be handed a massive £150million transfer kitty to add more depth to their squad.
