Central midfield
Staying: Nemanja Matic, Ramires, Frank Lampard, Marco van Ginkel.
Going: John Obi Mikel, Oriol Romeu, Josh McEachran.
Coming in: None.
After bringing in Matic from Benfica in January for £20.75m the west London side are fairly settled in midfield.
Lampard should have his contract extended by another year, van Ginkel will have recovered from a cruciate ligament injury and Ramires is always reliable.
Mikel is likely to be the player sacrificed in the market to balance the books, whilst McEachran probably won’t get a chance now and Romeu could well be sold also.
