Chelsea spent more than £250 million during the bustling summer transfer window, setting a new club record.
Wesley Fofana, Marc Cucurella, and Raheem Sterling were the high-profile additions as the new ownership group, led by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, sought to establish themselves.

Even though the most recent transfer window saw a lot of activity, Boehly and the staff are still working to close agreements.
According to reports, Christopher Nkunku of RB Leipzig has a pre-contract in place with the team and had a covert medical in Frankfurt at the end of the summer.
The colleague of the France international, Josko Gvardiol, is also a target for the west London club.
The Chelsea owners are acting very pro-actively in an effort to secure these highly sought-after players before their rivals do.
The head coach of Chelsea, Mark Potter, was questioned about how encouraging it is to know that the owners are working hard to improve the team for the future before Chelsea’s Champions League match against AC Milan.
The boys are ambitious, that much is clear, he retorted. Like all of us, they want to grow the club and the team.
“I never lose sight of the fact that my responsibility as head coach is to help the players who are already here grow before working with the team to coordinate the resources we have to make decisions when transfer windows open.”
