Chelsea fringe player reveals harsh truths about serving in the 'explosive team' through a locker room photograph

Chelsea have been active in the transfer market this summer, with several players pushing for moves and the club showing interest in various targets.

One such player is Alejandro Garnacho of Manchester United, who has been pushing hard for a move to Stamford Bridge in recent weeks. Chelsea are also reportedly still interested in RB Leipzig's Xavi Simons, a promising young talent.

The Blues' interest in new signings is evident in the recent 5-1 victory away from home against West Ham. The Chelsea dressing room, however, may need an upgrade, as it appears to be small and resembling those of local gyms or secondary schools.

In terms of outgoing transfers, Chelsea could reignite their pursuit of Garnacho if they can make room in the squad. The club is hoping to generate more money and free space from sales in the next two weeks for potential late signings.

Several players have already secured moves. Carney Chukwuemeka and Lesley Ugochukwu have since secured moves to newly-promoted Burnley, while Renato Veiga has joined Villarreal for a club record £26 million.

Chelsea are also looking to offload several players, with Christopher Nkunku, Raheem Sterling, Nicolas Jackson, and David Datro Fofana all reportedly on the block. Nkunku has already been permanently transferred to Borussia Dortmund, and Bayern Munich have shown strong interest in acquiring him. These moves could free up space for new players at Chelsea.

The Chelsea dressing room is not empty, though. Name plates for Disasi, Chukwuemeka, Ugochukwu, and Ben Chilwell are visible, indicating that these players are still part of the squad. Academy graduates Armando Broja and Alfie Gilchrist are also seen in the dressing room.

Axel Disasi and Alfie Gilchrist spent last season on loan with Aston Villa and Sheffield United respectively, but have not secured moves away yet this window.

Nicolas Jackson is generating interest from Newcastle and Serie A, and Chelsea have declared interest in moving him as well.

As the transfer window nears its end, Chelsea will be looking to make the most of their potential sales and bring in new talent to strengthen their squad.
