Chelsea's £323million January transfer window spend amounted to 37% of the total amount spent in the winter window by the 20 teams in England's top flight. Understandably that has seen some complaints thrown their way with disappointing performances since the spending spree slammed at multiple opportunities.
David Datro Fofana, Andrey Santos, Joao Felix, Benoit Badiashile, Noni Madueke, Mykhailo Mudryk, Malo Gusto and Enzo Fernandez were all bought permanently by the Blues last month. Gusto immediately returned on loan to Lyon after he completed his move, with all other seven names enduring varying starts to their careers in west London.
On paper, Badiashile seems to have made the clearest impact thus far while Felix and Fernandez, both playing only their second game for the club, showcased their quality combining to put Chelsea in front against West Ham in the Premier League last weekend.
