Chelsea identify new transfer priority after Jude Bellingham decision revealed

Chelsea have already set out their new plans for the summer transfer window despite spending nearly £300m in the winter. They recruited players across the pitch with all eight new signings coming under the age of 24.

Outside of Joao Felix, 23, everyone else was 22 or under and three players were teenagers when the agreement was originally reached. Add on the expected £6m fee for 17-year-old Jimmy-Jay Morgan from Southampton - completed and announced after the window closed - and five teenagers have been purchased under Todd Boehly's ownership already.

There is no sign of this relenting either. The drive for young players that will fuel the desired success in the future has been clear since the outset and there are already more ideas for additions at the end of the season.
