He said: "It makes no sense to stay in the squad and be in the squad when you don't have a real opportunity to play.

"When there's no chance to play, it makes absolutely no sense."

It is believed that Lazar Markovic, Mario Balotelli, Tiago Ilori, Lucas and Adam Bogdan are all to be shown the exit door as host of Premier League suitors take notice.
