Chelsea are set for a summer of change with Antonio Conte expected to be sent packing by Stamford Bridge chiefs.
The appointment of a new manager, with Maurizio Sarri the frontrunner for the job, will spark plenty of transfer activity.


Chelsea are likely to move on members of their underperforming squad, which put up a dismal title defence this season.
Former Chelsea star Frank Sinclair says a forward must be one of the incomings as his old team freshen up their playing staff.
They will need another striker," Sinclair told Sporting Bet.
"[Alvaro] Morata started well but struggled as he went on, whilst [Olivier] Giroud took his place and played well, but they haven’t replaced [Diego] Costa since he left.
"The new manager may not see either Morata or Giroud as players who fit the role they want up front, but I definitely think that this is a position that needs to be addressed."


Sinclair, who spent 16 years on the books at Stamford Bridge, also discussed the impact not playing in the Champions League will have on Chelsea’s transfer prospects.
Top players will be expecting to play for teams in the Champions League, and Chelsea will struggle to sign these players now," he added.


"Chelsea will have to fork out a lot of money to convince a player to sign for them and not a team that qualified for the Champions League.

"With the finical backing the club has, and the discussion of the new stadium being built, Chelsea will definitely be an elite club in Europe."
Sinclair’s comments regarding building a new stadium at Stamford Bridge came before Chelsea announced the plans had been suspended.
A statement released on Thursday read: "Chelsea Football Club announces today that it has put its new stadium project on hold.
"No further pre-construction design and planning work will occur.


"The club does not have a time frame set for reconsideration of its decision.
"The decision was made due to the current unfavourable investment climate."
