Ever since, the England worldwide has been in and out of Antonio Conte's team, with niggling injuries and illness issues never really allowing him an opportunity to stake a claim for a regular berth in the starting XI.
He said instead, the club should sell "four or five" players.
Chelsea midfielder Danny Drinkwater may look to leave Chelsea in the summer transfer window after just one-year with the Blues, according to the Guardian.
After an incredible debut season in which the club won the title and reached the FA Cup final, this term they find themselves in fifth place in the table and nearly certain to miss out on Champions League qualification.
"'What was working last season with Conte can not suddenly not work this season", Desailly told theDaily Mail.
Apple appoints Oliver Schusser as Apple Music VP
His business cards will now read 'vice president of Apple Music & International Content, ' and he will report to Eddy Cue . The new figures show that another 2 million signed up from March to April (a gain of 5.3%) to pay for Apple Music.
Darren Lewis of the Mirror reported Chelsea have joined the hunt for the 20-year-old, who can play in a number of positions and is said to have attracted United's and the Blues' attention due to his versatility.
Chelsea have won their last four league games against Southampton - they've never won five in a row against them. I played with a lot of pain and it probably would have been better if I'd stopped.
The midfielder was brought in by Chelsea, following the departure of mainstay Nemanja Matic to Manchester United, with the hope of recreating the N'Golo Kante - Drinkwater partnership, that had fired Leicester City to a Premier League title back in the 2015/16 season. I don't think the situation that Chelsea are in is Conte's fault - you must give him that season'.
He added, "Massive, massive". And the system of three at the back did not work this season because Conte lost Matic, ' added Desailly. "Together they protected the defence like it was needed".
