Demba Ba (Chelsea to Galatasaray)
Another player who could be sent packing by Chelsea is Demba Ba, who has been a big disappointment since joining the club from Newcastle last season. The Senegalese international had earned a reputation as being one of the most prolific strikers in the Premier League during his time at St James’ Park, but he has failed to maintain that form in a blue shirt, scoring just twice in the league in sixteen appearances for Chelsea.
Arsenal were known to be keen on taking him on loan on the final day of the summer transfer window, though this move to their rivals was blocked by Chelsea and Jose Mourinho, though it is understood that he still does not really feature in the plans of the Portuguese coach, and may be offered to Turkish giants Galatasaray this January as part of a proposed swap deal lined up by Chelsea, who have their eye on a far more impressive striker to solve their problems upfront.
