CONFIRMED: Five Chelsea players who will be sold as Ben Chilwell set to extend his Chelsea contract.

 With Ben Chilwell set to extend his current deal at Chelsea, five Chelsea players could be heading for their exit as well. 

Per The Athletic on this fine Easter Monday, Ben Chilwell is set to extend his Chelsea contract from 2025 till 2027. Signed in the summer of 2020, Ben Chilwell signed a five-year deal and is still halfway through the previously existing one and is set to extend his deal for four years. 

Manchester City had been heavily-linked with Chilwell in the summer, and his current extension will keep him off the reach of the English giants for a while. 

With Chilwell set to extend his Chelsea contract five Chelsea players could be heading for their exit per Football Transfers. 

Edouard Mendy & Kepa Arrizabalaga:

Edouard Mendy has long since been linked with a potential departure. Chelsea repeatedly offered him a new contract throughout the season, but the Senegalese reportedly was not satisfied with the terms of the deal and negotiations stalled in the winter - only to be revived in the spring.

At 31, the goalkeeper is still at peak age and Chelsea, who will look for a new shot-stopper this summer, will be keen to recoup the €24m they spent on him in 2020. The same goes for 28-year-old Kepa Arrizabalaga, though it seems unlikely he will go for anything close to the record-breaking €80m the Blues spent on him even if a new deal will inflate his value.

Hakim Ziyech 

Hakim Ziyech was already on his way out - albeit on loan - in January, only for Chelsea to mess up the necessary paperwork, forcing him to stick around. 30 years old and having struggled to make an impact, Todd Boehly will be lucky to get half of the €40m that his predecessor paid for the Moroccan.

Conor Gallagher & Kai Havertz:

Linked with Liverpool among other clubs, Conor Gallagher will definitely flush some money into Chelsea's coffers - especially if the youth product signs an extension before departing. Kai Havertz has thrown his Chelsea future into doubt after revealing his admiration for Thomas Tuchel and Bayern Munich and he could be one to leave in the near future, although the Bavarians will be one of only a handful of clubs that can actually afford the €80m man.

The likes of Aubameyang who is clearly not part of Chelsea's plans having been left out of the Blues' Champions League Squad for the season, and some consecutive games could also be on his way out of the club. Earlier, he had been linked with a return to Barcelona. It remains to be seen if his current situation changes.
