Chelsea’s best move to try and profit from £30m disaster is obvious after Everton show interest

Despite a poor season with just one Premier League goal, Chelsea could avoid a financial loss by selling or loaning him for around £25 million. A successful loan spell could help restore his market value and potentially allow Chelsea to sell him for £30 million or more in the future.
