Chelsea transfer chief Marina Granovskaia is being tasked with balancing the books and reports claim she is instigating the departure of the pair of outcasts.

According to Italian journalist Nicolo Schira, Bakayoko is closing in on a return to AC Milan where he spent the 2018/19 campaign on loan.

Emerson is also in talks with Antonio Conte's Inter and both have a price-tag of £27m.

Although he adds that the initial moves are likely to be loans with views to permanent deals following the coronavirus pandemic.

Emerson only made 13 league starts last season and will be pushed further down the pecking order once Chilwell signs on the dotted line.
