There is no denying that Chelsea have been active in trying to establish a new group of players to take the club forward under Graham Potter. Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali have helped drive the Blues to signing 14 players in addition to a number of young stars like Omari Hutchinson and Cesare Casadei for the Blues' development squad.
Most of those players have been signed on long-term deals, leaving Chelsea with a strong position for any future negotiations or interest, as well as allowing them to amortise high transfer fees to help secure a healthy Financial Fair Play outlook. They have further secured the futures of the likes of Trevoh Chalobah and Reece James, though others have proved more problematic.
In the early months of the new ownership it was clear that the new hierarchy hoped to tie Mason Mount down to a longer deal. That has yet to transpire with the England international's current deal set to run out in 2024.
