Malang Sarr’s days at Chelsea are looking very numbered now.
The defender was only brought in on a free transfer as a loan army warrior and a first team backup, with the opportunity to sign him too good to turn down two years ago.
Now he’s on the way out, and Fulham have been strongly linked with a bid for the centre back.
There's no shortage of takers for Malang Sarr beyond Fulham with several sides ready to take him back to France. Chelsea are expected to sign a defender (probably Cucurella) soon which would allow him and maybe others to depart the club. #CFC

The Whites aren’t the only interested party, according to Nizaar Kinsella.
The Evening Standard’s Chelsea correspondent says there’s “no shortage of takers” for the defender beyond Fulham, with “several sides” in France interested.
A deal can be done, and Chelsea can grab the quick profit they were hoping for when they signed him – but only once they’ve managed to replace him in their squad. He ended up playing a decent amount last season, and those minutes must be replaced.
Once that next crucial domino falls, the wave of departures can really begin.
