Finally, it is absolutely clear that Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca doesn't particularly rate two senior players. Another fairly unavoidable fact is that the Blues in question will soon leave the west London outfit. It is pretty certain that the undoubtedly talented pair will both do well when finally with other teams.

As with many CFC signings in the recent era, one of the duo is quite young and has immense pedigree. Meanwhile the other is more seasoned and has played in most of the best competitions and tournaments around Europe and further. Essentially up for sale at this point, who are these respective footballers? Or could a temporary exit Stamford Bridge transpire in January? Will either or both leave the Fulham Road outfit? And what are their preferred or possible destinations?

In addition to that, another quality Blue who can't manage to break into the first team proper is tipped to switch clubs temporarily in the New Year. Just like the aforementioned pairing on Maresca's justifiably unabashed chopping board, calibre and plenty of experience exists within this athlete. But, as Chels make superb strides under the Italian, room in the squad is running out with talent in abundance. I think he can do a job on the Blues roster. You decide.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall exit likely?

During his pre-match press conference before playing Everton in the Premier League at Goodison Park for the last time, Maresca made some interesting admissions. The former Manchester City coach refused to rule out Dewsbury-Hall's departure over the next month.

Dewsbury-Hall joined from Leicester City over the summer, just after Maresca also left the Foxes. The Blue Army was not surprised though wished their then-fan favourite well in the capital. The Leicester fan base would mostly welcome back KDH with open arms - especially when considering their unfavourable position.
