Given the club had changed owners towards the back end of the previous season, the start of the summer was relatively quiet for Chelsea. But that looks set to change in dramatic fashion in the coming days.
After seeing a number of familiar faces leave the club in administrative roles, Petr Cech was the latest to depart on Monday. Meanwhile, the Blues are seemingly set to ramp up their efforts to improve their playing staff, with Manchester City pair Raheem Sterling and Nathan Ake linked along with Brazil winger Raphinha.
As a result, the next few weeks will be eventful for Chelsea fans before they begin their Premier League season at Goodison Park against Everton. But it's still not completely clear what the team will look like come Week 1.
