4 Chelsea players whose time at the club maybe coming to an end

Chelsea are thriving under Maurizio Sarri and are unbeaten in all competitions this season. The Blues are currently third on the Premier League table, just four points behind the leaders, Manchester City.

Ross Barkley, Alvaro Morato, and David Luiz have resurrected their careers at Stamford Bridge under the Italian manager.

But there are a number of players whose careers regressed at Chelsea since his arrival and are currently surplus to the requirements at the club.

Right on this note, here is the list of four Chelsea players whose time at the club maybe coming to an end.

---

#1 Danny Drinkwater

Danny Drinkwater has been linked with a move back to Leicester City.

Manchester United academy graduate, Danny Drinkwater failed to make the grade at the Old Trafford and the Red Devils sold him to Leicester City in 2012 after loaning him out to four different clubs.

He quickly established himself as a first team regular for the Foxes and played a vital role in Leicester City's promotion to the Premier League from the Championship during the 2013-2014 season. He won the Leicester City Player of the Season 2013-2014 accolade and was also included in the Championship Team of the Season 2013-14.

Danny Drinkwater was one of the driving forces behind Leicester City's 2015-2016 Premier League glory and he contributed three goals and eight assists to the team's success.

His performances at the King's Power stadium derived interest from a number of big European clubs and he eventually joined Chelsea for £35 million in the summer transfer window of 2017.

However, he failed to replicate his Leicester form at Stamford Bridge and has been warming the bench at the club. He played just 12 Premier League games for the Blues during the 2017-2018 season, out of which seven were as a substitute.

The 28-year-old is yet to feature in a Premier League game for the London-based club this season and is currently surplus to the requirements at the club.

He was linked with a move back to his former club, Leicester City during the summer and could finally end his torrid spell with the Blues in January.

#2 Davide Zappacosta

Davide Zappacosta failed to establish himself at Chelsea.

Big things were expected from Davide Zappacosta when he joined Chelsea from Torino in the summer transfer window of 2017. However, he failed to make the impact that he wanted to and is currently out of favour at the club.

The Italian was inconsistent with his performances throughout the 2017-2018 season and he failed to cement his place as a regular in the Blues' starting line-up. He played 22 games during the last season, of which only 12 were starts. Chelsea managed to keep only three clean sheets in the 22 Premier League matches that he featured in last season.

The London-based club replaced Antonio Conte with Maurizio Sarri at the start of the 2018-2019 season, which further pushed Zappacosta away from Chelsea's first team setup.

He has played just one Premier League game under the former Napoli Manager so far, which was a six-minute cameo in Chelsea's 4-1 victory against Cardiff City in September.

The 26-year-old recently admitted that he is open to the move away from the Stamford Bridge and Inter Milan are reported to be interested in taking the defender back to his homeland.

#3 Victor Moses

Victor Moses is struggling at Chelsea at the moment.

The Nigerian international started his professional career with Crystal Palace but made a name for himself in the Premier League with Wigan Athletic.

He played 74 Premier League games for the Latics, scoring eight goals before joining Chelsea for £9 million in the summer transfer window of 2012. He enjoyed a decent 2012-2013 season with the Blues and played 23 Premier League games, scoring three goals.

However, Chelsea signed Willian, Christian Atsu and Andre Schurrle to add depth on the wings before the 2013-14 season, which slipped Moses down the pecking order and he immediately joined Liverpool on a season-long loan.

He also spent some time with Stoke City and West Ham United on loan before being transformed into a wing-back by Antonio Conte during the 2016-17 season.

The 28-year-old rejuvenated his career at his new position and was a key member of Chelsea's 2016-17 Premier League success. He made 62 Premier League appearances during the last two Premier League seasons, scoring six goals.

However, the appointment of Maurizio Sarri as Chelsea's head coach prior to the 2018-2019 season pushed him out of their first team scenario and he is yet to start a Premier League game under the former Napoli manager.

Victor Moses could leave the Blues as soon as the January transfer window as he already showed his desire to leave the club during the last weeks.

#4 Cesc Fabregas

Cesc Fabregas is one of the most decorated midfielders in the Premier League.

One of the most decorated midfielders in the Premier League history, Cesc Fabregas is currently struggling for his game time at Chelsea.

Cesc Fabregas joined Chelsea from Barcelona in the summer transfer window of 2014 and played 190 games in all competitions for the Blues thus far, scoring 22 goals.

The Spanish international helped the London based club win two Premier League titles, one FA Cup along with one Football league cup.

However, the Blues signed Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic, on loan from Real Madrid, during last summer and Ross Barkley's resurgence under Maurizio Sarri slipped Fabregas down the pecking order at the club. He managed to make just three Premier League appearances so far this season.

The 32-year-old's current contract with the Blues will expire at the end of the season and it is very unlikely that Chelsea will offer him a new contract.

Athletico Madrid recently showed interest in signing him along with other teams.
