Chelsea face a major decision at the end of the season, with plans being drawn up for which steps the current regime should take to strengthen the squad. Over £500m in transfer fees have already been spent by the Boehly-Clearlake ownership, though the investment is yet to bear fruit.
The side currently sit tenth in the Premier League and are in need of some uplift in form, with a clearer view as to where the project is going on the field. Pressure has mounted on manager Graham Potter, who has a task on his hands to find his best team first and foremost.
“There are challenges when you’ve got that many players,” Potter said last month on the size of his squad. “There are challenges in terms of what role they play because most players want to play. They want to play, be on the pitch and help the team. When they are not, it is a challenge and it is a challenge for lots of reasons at this football club."
