Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is demanding a clearout of the club's fringe players.
The Mirror says Abramovich is fuming at the huge wages being paid to fringe players in Jose Mourinho's squad.
The Russian billionaire has told chief executive Peter Kenyon to shift a handful in January - either in sales or on loan - because there are not providing value for money.
Mourinho will have a say in who gets shown the door and it is thought some big names will come under scrutiny in the next few weeks.
England defender Glen Johnson, German centre-half Robert Huth and Cameroon star Geremi are three of the likely targets.
