Chelsea have been one of the busiest clubs in the past two transfer windows. Since Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital's £4.25 billion takeover last May, over £600 million has been spent on new signings.
In that period, five new defenders have been recruited to bolster the back line at Stamford Bridge. Wesley Fofana, Marc Cucurella and Kalidou Koulibaly all arrived in the summer after Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger left before Benoit Badiashile and Malo Gusto followed in January.
The Blues are also blessed with quality in the wing-back positions with Reece James and Ben Chilwell two of the best in the Premier League. However, injury concerns over the past two seasons have meant alternatives have had to be signed in Cucurella and Gusto.
