Here's the full list of 17 players who have left Chelsea in this transfer window
Chelsea have been one of the busiest sides in the summer transfer market as they have released a plethora of players in a major flash sale process.
Chelsea didn't have the desired outcome last season as they miserably failed in getting the job done. Despite spending millions in the transfer market the West Londoners finished a distant 12th in the Premier League table and will not be participating in Europe next term. Chelsea have been the most active side in terms of transfer business as there has been a host of players involved in the activity. The Blues have been clearing the logjam as they need to raise funds in order to comply with the financial fair play rules.
