Chelsea can prove Dusan Vlahovic prediction right as Paulo Dybala 'spotted' amid transfer links

With Chelsea's summer transfer window slowing transitioning from exits and trimming the squad into additions and bolstering the ranks again, there's a few key areas to address. In goal, the departure of Edouard Mendy has left a potential gap that needs to be filled, though the defensive department largely looks secure.

The midfield could use some extra bodies, with just Enzo Fernandez and Conor Gallagher left in there, but it's perhaps the attacking unit that requires the biggest switch up. The Blues scored just 38 goals in 38 Premier League games last season, which led to a record lowest 12th-placed finish in the division.

There has been progress made in moving on players who were struggling in the front lines, with Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson joining to bolster new head coach Mauricio Pochettino's options. There's still more work to be done though, with some more space in the squad for goal scorers and chance creators.
