Since the end of the last season, Chelsea have been linked with players in all areas of the squad. Having made a total of zero signings so far as we come to the end of June, fans are left in a state of limbo. Social media has been filled with Chelsea followers debating on whether Raheem Sterling would be the better choice than Ousmane Dembele. There's only one form of conflict resolution in each case, though - get them both.
There is no harm in exploring the maximum possibilities of this transfer window, especially as the squad begins to thin with the expected outgoings. Romelu Lukaku is headed to Inter Milan, and Hakim Ziyech could also hop on the plane to Italy.
According to Manchester Evening News, Todd Boehly has made personal contact with Sterling in hopes of getting the deal done quicker. It could be that the England international is the first to sign to Chelsea in the transfer window, but surely Ousmane Dembele is now out of the question?
