Chelsea have plans upon plans in the transfer window and their level of depth on the shortlist for 2023 demonstrates Todd Boehly's new strategy. The new co-owner was determined to make major moves over the summer and looks set to continue in the same vein moving forward.
Even if this isn't a sustainable plan, it's one to get the gears moving in the right direction after years of recruitment neglect. The Blues haven't appeared to buy with much of a plan since Jose Mourinho's second stint started in 2014.
Boehly has acted quickly to appoint an almost entirely new team in that regard, including transfer specialists Paul Winstanley, Kyle Macaulay, Joe Shields and Laurence Stewart. That set-up, which is still to be added to with Christopher Vivell coming in, is one that will not only be focused on correcting past mistakes, but also to give Graham Potter a foundation to build from.
