Roman Abramovich

Chelsea are reportedly set for a massive purge of players at the end of the season.

There are reports that as many as 10 players could be on their way out of Stamford Bridge, with owner Roman Abramovich apparently "angry" at their relative failure this season.

Abramovich will reportedly spend £100million on the team in the summer, but who the manager will be at that point is unclear. Avram Grant may keep his job, but only if he wins either the Premier or Champions League.

With Didier Drogba and possibly Frank Lampard set to depart of their own free will, Abramovich will reportedly also rid the squad of Andriy Shevchenko, as well as Juliano Belletti and Florent Malouda.

Assorted squad players such as Claudio Pizarro, Steve Sidwell and Tal Ben Haim will also apparently be shipped out.

Long-serving reserve 'keeper Carlo Cudicini may be told he can leave, and to finish off the clear-out, Claude Makelele is expected to retire.
