The Blues' biggest arrival without a doubt was the poaching of Raheem Sterling from Manchester City for £50m. Sterling was keen to get out of City’s rotation system and earn more time on the pitch, which he felt he was sorely missing in the build-up to the World Cup.

Brighton’s Marc Cucurella joined Sterling, becoming Chelsea’s most expensive defender to date. The Spaniard should help shore up the backline in the absence of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen, who have moved on to Real Madrid and Barcelona, respectively.
