Chelsea's £26.3m transfer that can help Todd Boehly prove Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp wrong

Jurgen Klopp won't be alone in deriving pleasure from Chelsea's current situation. The Reds have had struggles of their own this season but the Blues, under new ownership of Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, have ensured that west London is home to the most underperforming side of the season.

Chelsea have spent in the region of £600million in the last two transfer windows in the hopes of condensing a transition into a shorter period so that the club could retain it's competitiveness. Even when saying not qualifying for top four would not determine Graham Potter's future, it was probably not expected that club would descend 12th place and level on points with Bournemouth by the end of April.

It has certainly felt a season of more chaos than trophies, and Chelsea's fiercest critics will feel vindicated in their reading of the new owners' tenure. Klopp could be considered a figure among that number, and believes Chelsea's coaches, they've had four people lead the team this season, have had an impossible job.
