Chelsea's summer escapades were well documented last year with Todd Boehly embarking on a whirlwind tour of Europe as interim sporting director. In the co-owner's first transfer window he left no stone unturned in a bid to make a name for himself and get business done for the club.
It resulted in one of the most slap-dash, scattergun and so-far wasteful sets of spending in the club's history, and there's quite a list to compete with. As well as the £250m spent to sign Marc Cucurella, Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly, Wesley Fofana and more, Chelsea dug out on teenagers and youth talent, too.
Of their big money signings, only Fofana has so far been close to a success, even Raheem Sterling's double against Nottingham Forest cannot change that. There was more to the window behind the scenes, though. Jude Bellingham, Frenkie de Jong, Jules Kounde and Matthijs de Ligt were all strongly linked.
