Chelsea and Tottenham summer transfer window verdict given ahead of London derby clash

Chelsea and Tottenham went head-to-head at Stamford Bridge in the first London derby for both clubs this season, which could outline their trajectories for the rest of the campaign. The meeting comes after a huge summer of transition for the two clubs, with plenty of changes made in the transfer market.

The Blues needed some turnover in the squad after an ownership change at the club back in May. Todd Boehly pledged to give backing to Thomas Tuchel and has done that so far with over £100million spent in the market at this stage.

Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly and Marc Cucurella were the three main first-team signings made, though it seems as though plenty more are set to join before the conclusion of the window. On the other side of London, former boss Antonio Conte has been very active in the market.
