Chelsea have agreed a deal to sell Lesley Ugochukwu to Burnley, while Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is closing in on a move to Everton.

Chelsea have given permission for Ugochukwu, who spent last season on loan at Southampton, to travel to Burnley to undergo a medical and wrap up a permanent transfer to Turf Moor.

Ugochukwu has failed to establish himself at Chelsea since moving to Stamford Bridge in a £23million deal from Rennes.

Broja has also been told he can leave Chelsea, who have also sold Bashir Humphreys to Burnley for £14m this summer.

Everton are in advanced talks to sign Dewsbury-Hall after having a second bid rejected for Southampton winger Tyler Dibling.

Dewsbury-Hall only joined Chelsea last summer and made 36 appearances, but started just two Premier League games.

Chelsea are pressing ahead with a fire sale to balance the books.

They are also trying to offload Raheem Sterling, Ben Chilwell, Renato Veiga, Axel Disasi and Carney Chukwuemeka.

The Blues have already sold Djordje Petrovic, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Noni Madueke, Joao Felix and Ishe Samuels-Smith this summer.

Chelsea have spent over £200m this summer on Liam Delap, Jamie Gittens, Joao Pedro, Dario Essugo, Estevao Willian and Jorrel Hato.

They are in talks to sign Xavi Simons and continue to be linked with Alejandro Garnacho.

Chelsea are under pressure from UEFA to come out of this transfer window with a "positive transfer balance" as part of punishments for breaching financial rules.
