Chelsea are facing four departures from their squad without earning a single penny in the process. It comes after the contracts of several highly-rated youngsters come to an end.

Chelsea look set to lose four talented youngsters for nothing after turning down a series of contracts.

It spells bad news for the Blues, who have reaped the rewards of their academy for many years up until now.

Despite the success of breakout stars including Mason Mount, Reece James and Callum Hudson-Odoi, several now do not see a pathway to the first-team

It comes as Chelsea accepted a transfer from Crystal Palace for Marc Guehi, a player that is hugely admired at Stamford Bridge.

But the ex-Swansea loanee is not the only with their head turned – while the Blues can at least comfort themselves with the fact they are earning a fee from the 21-year-old.

That situation does not appear to be the case with four more talented youngsters.

Lewis Bate, Tino Livramento, Marcel Peart-Lewis and Dynel Simeu all look set to leave – with the latter duo attracting attention from other Premier League outfits.

There is understandable concern from Chelsea over such an exodus, which will see the club fail to earn a single penny from any of their departures.

Losing both Bate and Livramento would be a major worry as two of the best starlets to come through in recent years – with the latter earning the Academy Player of the Year last season.

They have both turned down new contracts from the club and would not find it difficult to land another team if they choose to.

Meanwhile, Football London report that Peart-Harris will depart in the coming days with the attacking midfielder set to move to an unnamed top-flight side.

The same can be said for Simeu, whose contract expired last month and most recently rejected a new two-year deal.

Football London go on to state that the young centre-back has already agreed a contract with a Premier League team.

However, it is not all bad news with Armando Broja penning a five-year contract after impressing on loan at Vitesse Arnhem.

Thomas Tuchel is a fan of the Albania international, who could play a role in the first-team next season with Olivier Giroud leaving and Tammy Abraham potentially on the way out.
