Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink admits several of his senior players
could be on the move in the summer.
Hiddink revealed: "There are many clubs where players start
playing well in April and May because they know that maybe they
want to stay.
"You can see that in the whole history of the game, when players
start playing well at this time of the season.
"Generally speaking, even if a player’s contract is expiring, he
has a responsibility to deliver."
He added: "I can have an influence on what happens to these
players and I can always make suggestions to the people at the club
who ultimately decide.
"When players are committed, you don’t worry whether they are 31
or 32. In the longer-term strategy for the club, you must have
plans for the future even when a player is doing well at 31.
"You must have plans on what can be done, whether to replace a
player in a year or more.
"If people ask me I will give my opinion, whether that is the
staff, the medical people, the physios, the guys who practise with
the team or the conditioning coaches."
