Todd Boehly arrived at Chelsea determined to make a big statement in the transfer market.
But after spending in excess of £250m on new signings, Chelsea’s new owner has turned Stamford Bridge into a soap opera. Chelsea have become the Premier League’s big spenders making up more than their fair share of this summer’s huge summer spree which pushed close to the £2billion mark.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s arrival was the most eye-catching even if it was one of their smaller deals with Marcos Alonso going the other way in a player-plus-cash move. But the other deals have been for huge sums with Wesley Fofana arriving from Leicester City for a staggering £70m.
