Chelsea are acting quickly in the transfer market and aren't wasting much time in getting down to business. It is the start to the window that Mauricio Pochettino and the club's new recruitment directors were keen to get off to, especially after falling behind last year.
Whereas Todd Boehly and Co were held up 12 months ago having taken over, gotten their feet under the table and being clouded by the sanctions from the UK government, Chelsea were left to scramble throughout the summer. Before pre-season had started they had already lost Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger.
This season there is no such excuse with plans in place for the new manager as far back as four weeks ago once Pochettino agreed to take over as the new head coach. His goal will be to have a settled side heading into the trip of America next month with ample time to intergrate any new signings, returning loanees and to establish fresh goals.
