Transfer: Two strikers to leave Chelsea as Alonso names squad to face Sociedad
Chelsea’s squad for their final pre-season friendly against Real Sociedad will be missing key players Nicolas Jackson and Liam Delap, raising concerns about their futures with the club.
Jackson, who spent last season on loan at Bayern Munich, has drawn interest from several clubs in the Premier League and Europe, including Aston Villa, who are reportedly keen to secure his signature.
Meanwhile, Italian club Como is reportedly considering a loan move for Delap, as indicated by Sky in Italy.
Additionally, Danny Welbeck is not included in the squad, leaving Joao Pedro as the only striker available for head coach Xavi Alonso in Saturday’s match at Stamford Bridge.
Enzo Fernandez will start the game on the bench amid ongoing transfer speculation linking him to Manchester City.
