#3 Olivier Giroud
Olivier Giroud, France's World Cup-winning centre forward, is all set to leave Stamford Bridge to get regular playing time and ensure that he keeps his spot in the Les Bleus team brimming with stars galore.
Though he has made 94 appearances in all competitions for Chelsea, scoring 29 goals and providing 14 assists and winning the FA Cup and Europa League along the way, he has never been a regular starter at the club.
Recently, he was advised by his national team manager Didier Deschamps to find a club where he could play more football. The arrival of Timo Werner has possibly helped him make up his mind in this regard, and the 34-year-old might be heading back to Ligue 1 in January.
#2 Antonio Rudiger
Germany international, Antonio Rudiger, has fallen way down the pecking order at Chelsea, with the likes of Thiago Silva, Kurt Zouma, Andreas Christensen and Fikayo Tomori all seemingly ahead of him as central-defensive options at the club.
Rudiger is yet to play in the Premier League this season, as he has experienced a stark decline in his fortunes at the club; he made 19 starts in the league last season.
With AS Roma among several clubs reportedly interested in his services and with Chelsea looking to cut their wage bill, Rudiger could be all set to walk out of the club's doors in January.
#1 Kepa Arrizabalaga
Kepa Arrizabalaga, the world's most expensive goalkeeper, is enduring a nightmare at Chelsea, an overly long nightmare.
Scrutiny about the frailties in his technique began last season itself, as he made a bevvy of high-profile errors. With Kepa Arrizabalaga's mistakes and the scrutiny continuing this season too, Chelsea were forced to sign Edouard Mendy from Rennes for £24 million.
Arrizabalaga was inevitably dropped from the Chelsea XI, and to his detriment, Mendy begun his Chelsea sojourn on the front foot.
Reports now suggest that the Spaniard could look to find a loan move away from Stamford Bridge and take a hefty wage cut (£150,000 per month) to resurrect his chances of being a part of the Spanish team at next year's Euros.
It has been a dramatic fall from grace for a still young keeper, who was once considered by many to have it in him to be the best in the business.
