Five Chelsea players facing the axe this summer, including £26m flop

2) Juan Cuadrado

It may seem too soon to make a judgement call on Cuadrado’s short Chelsea career – he only joined at the end of the January transfer window after all – but early signs have been less than encouraging.

He has made little impact in any of the eight appearances which followed his £26m switch from Fiorentina, and if he does not convince Mourinho of his worth he could find himself on the loan market this summer.
