Chelsea Transfers: 5 Players Mourinho Needs To Clear Out Immediately

4. Florent Malouda

Florent Malouda After joining the Blues from Lyon back in 2007, the French winger has been one frustrating player for the Stamford Bridge club- on his day, he was one of the most feared wingers in Europe as his sheer pace and ability to score goals would strike fear into any Premier League defence. Without a doubt, Carlo Ancelotti's year at Chelsea was also Malouda's best as he bagged twelve goals and helped his team by gaining eight assists while also being a controversial omission from the Premier League team of the year at the end of that very season. There is no doubt that the Frenchman is a near cert to be leaving Chelsea this summer, and it is not a great thing to say but he will probably not be missed- he has not featured this season in either Roberto di Matteo or Rafa Benitez's thoughts for the team, and in February he accused the club of trying to mentally break him by forcing him to train with the club's academy players. Despite his lack of action over the last two seasons, he still featured for France in EURO 2012, showing that he still has the ability to feature in one of Europe's top leagues, and there is bound to be interest in him- last year, there was interest from clubs in Brazil and his homeland but he refused to take a pay cut then. Will he change his mind this summer? Mourinho, despite signing Malouda himself, may not stop him leaving the club.
