After the end of last season was shrouded in concern, Chelsea fans will be starting to get excited about the new campaign again.
Manager Thomas Tuchel may have lost some key players already this summer - most notably star defender Antonio Rudiger - but the cub appear intent on filling gaps in the squad with high-class replacements.
Raheem Sterling and Raphinha both continue to be linked with a move to Stamford Bridge in deals that would refresh last season's inconsistent attack. Meanwhile, a host of defenders have been mentioned as rumoured targets to fill the Rudiger-shaped void in the side.
