If Chelsea are to sign Victor Osimhen from Napoli this summer they will have to break the Premier League transfer record once more. Todd Boehly and Co have already made their money splashing intentions clear in European football, smashing the previous most when purchasing Enzo Fernandez for £106.8m in January.
That is the latest deal of nearly 20 new signings that the new owners have made since taking over just less than one year ago. In that time over £550m has been spent on players but few have so far proven to be worth the big bucks paid.
Heading into the second summer of the Boehly-Clearlake administration there is no sign of letting up despite the need for wholesale changes within the squad. Already in possession of a 32-man senior group, Chelsea will need to cut down more than add to their armoury.
