Chelsea's transfer policy appears to be clear. Although it looks muddled when added to the current group - an overload of attackers, not enough midfielders and a strange mix of old and young defenders - Todd Boehly's drive for new players has followed a similar pattern.
The average age of their signings under the new owners is just 22.4. Considering they have signed Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, 33, Kalidou Koulibaly, 31, and Raheem Sterling, 27 when bought, that is remarkable. Without those three it would be 20.5.
In January they have already signed six players and the oldest of those is 23-year-old Joao Felix, who's only on loan. The average age of signings under Graham Potter is 20.6. Chelsea have spent over £75million on teenagers since the summer and are continuing to plot ahead for the best young talent available.
