Chelsea have already been shown by some of their rivals how best to act this summer as they look to complete a summer rebuild and overhaul in as short a period of time as possible. Everything that the Todd Boehly-Clearlake Capital axis has done so far has been based off moving on from the old regime quickly and this summer is set to be no different.
From buying £250million worth of players last summer whilst moving on Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner to sacking Thomas Tuchel somewhat prematurely, it has been football club ownership in hyperspace. The eight January deals added to that as well as behind-the-scenes changes only create a bigger world of changes.
With a squad now too big to manage and the on-field reflection of that becoming more and more evident by the week, Chelsea have little choice but to be ruthless in the next window. Given most of the sales will come from previously purchased players under Roman Abramovich, and for Mauricio Pochettino under other managers, cutting ties should be easier in theory.
