Chelsea have benefitted from the World Cup in Qatar when it comes to possible transfers, and it could help them with both incomings and outgoings. Graham Potter and Todd Boehly will have been two keen watchers of the tournament during the group stages with 12 Blues players selected for their countries.
As well as staple first-team stars Mason Mount and Raheem Sterling, players with a less clear future at the club have also been demonstrating their skills over the past two weeks, with more players progressing into the knockout rounds and latter stages of the tournament.
As the ultimate shop window, the World Cup can be seen as the best chance to attract new suitors and find new destinations, and Chelsea may have found a perfect balance. One of their top attacking targets, Rafael Leao, has been impressive for Portugal and so has box office defender Josko Gvardiol.
