Chelsea ‘desperate’ to keep defender; will sell four others instead

Chelsea do not want to sell Levi Colwill and therefore will reportedly sacrifice four other players as a means to balance their books.

After three transfer windows of heavy spending totalling over £1 billion, the Blues must sanction player sales to comply with the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability (PSR) rules.

Consequently, with homegrown players representing 100 per cent profit on the accounting books, it’s fair to assume that at least one high-profile homegrown player will be sold this summer.
