Chelsea: Mason Mount mocks teammate Antonio Rudiger
Chelsea chiefs are mulling over what to do with Antonio Rudiger after receiving a loan offer for the German defender, as the Daily Mail claims the Blues want to sell him to raise cash. Chelsea are expected to make a final bid to sign Declan Rice of West Ham, but want to recoup some funds first through the sale of players.

Due to the fact he still has two years to run on his contract, The Blues believe they can still get a relatively decent fee for him.
On Friday, PSG made a bid to sign the centre-back on loan for the season, but Chelsea are deliberating over whether to accept.
That’s because they would prefer to sell him outright in order to raise funds to go after Rice.
PSG’s offer has an option to make the loan permanent in a year’s time, but Chelsea are keen to raise money immediately in order to fund their bid for Rice.

Lampard said: ‘I don’t expect anything in the window, they are our players.
“There are lots of rumours, not just on those players but on a lot of our players.
“Every player will always be a case-by-case situation that has to be a happy solution for the player, myself and for the club.
“We have a big squad, we know that, but at the moment players remain ours and we will see as time goes on.”
