Chelsea dealt $90m blow as Mauricio Pochettino gets first transfer hitch after Todd Boehly call

Chelsea will need to conduct their transfer business in a more savvy manor this summer as financial restraints role in for Todd Boehly and Co to abide by. Following on from the biggest transfer spend over 12 months of any football club in the history of the game, there is still an alarming amount of work to do.

The outgoings are the most pressing issue, with a squad filled to the rafters of unsettled, unhappy, underperforming and overpaid players that all see their futures elsewhere. Over 15 stars are set to be sold this summer with the potential for more should the requisite arrivals come in.

It continues the theme of wholesale change at the club with Mauricio Pochettino coming in to a side totally different not only to the one he used to face as Tottenham manager but also that took to the field under Thomas Tuchel just over one year ago.
