The ongoing clearout efforts of the powers that be at Premier League giants Chelsea have given rise to a remarkable statistic, piquing widespread attentions on Thursday evening.
This comes after the imminent departure of yet another member of the Blues’ Champions League-winning XI of just two years ago was confirmed.
The latest member of the first-team setup at Stamford Bridge primed to move on ahead of next season? Mason Mount.
On the back of weeks of rampant speculation, word was finally forthcoming on Thursday evening that England international Mount is all set for a move to Manchester United.
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Manchester United have reached an agreement with Chelsea to sign Mason Mount. Deal for 24yo England midfielder worth up to £60m (£55m + £5m adds). Permission given to do medical + finalise personal terms. Now to paperwork stage @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/4Y4YoGfJmT

This follows confirmation of Kai Havertz’s Arsenal switch just 24 hours prior.
Not only that, but, heading into the summer, Todd Boehly and co. have remarkably also managed to shift all of Edouard Mendy, Kalidou Koulibaly, Mateo Kovacic, and N’Golo Kante.
Putting the overhaul into full context, this, incredibly, means that just a trio of players to have started in Chelsea’s Champions League final win over Manchester City in 2021 are currently in line to enter the new season still on the books in west London – Reece James, Thiago Silva, and Ben Chilwell.
