We all know the story here by now, Chelsea have been taking the footballing world by storm during the last two transfer windows, signing a host of new talents to improve the squad and get them challenging at the very top again.
It’s clear what the new owners want, and they want it as soon as physically possible. They believe they have the right man in charge in Graham Potter, and they believe they are building him the squad to move back up the league table.

But they haven’t finished yet, with the summer window expecting to be another busy one for the club.
According to Ben Jacobs of Si & Dan Talk Chelsea, the club are prepared to continue their big spending.
Jacobs penned his latest extensive and exclusive article for the site this week, and Chelsea’s summer plans was a small thing he covered.
But the big spending has to come on one condition, that they make numerous outgoing sales too.
“Chelsea are prepared to continue their big spending, but the summer will also be about outgoings,” Jacobs said. “Selling will help create a smaller-sized squad. Plus, under FFP, any fee can be declared as annual profit (minus remaining any amortisation if applicable).
“Chelsea will be looking for at least one central midfielder, a striker and potentially a goalkeeper. I think those will be the big three areas.”
