Chelsea owner Todd Boehly is ready to sell England trio of Mason Mount, Conor Gallagher and Callum Hudson-Odoi in the summer because they are the easiest to sell, according to Daily Mail.

The report adds: “Rivals anticipate a fire sale, knowing Chelsea have to balance their books. How well the new sporting directors hold their nerve may well determine the success of this venture or not. The easiest players to move on for good money would be Mount and Conor Gallagher.

“They insist this isn’t a retreat from their commitment to the academy but if those two leave, along with Callum Hudson-Odoi, it will mean that 19 years of hard work building up a youth policy under Roman Abramovich will have been cashed in, adding to the sales of Fikayo Tomori and Tammy Abraham for £60m. Hard cash trumps romance. And Levi Colwill will be back next season to play alongside Reece James.”
