Chelsea transfer priority revealed after Todd Boehly sent £107m demand for 'next Didier Drogba'

Chelsea have spent big in the transfer market since Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital Group completed a £4billion takeover at Stamford Bridge. The Blues splashed over £323million on eight new players in January - more than all clubs in the Italian, German, French and Spanish top flights combined.

Despite 16 players joining Graham Potter's squad causing the manager to have a slight headache in terms of his team selection, fans are excited heading into the second half of the season as Chelsea aim to recover qualification for European football next season. Many feel that the mass rebuild at Stamford Bridge could come back to bite the Blues in the future, but it looks as though the spending will continue in the summer.

Christopher Nkunku is expected to complete a move to Chelsea from RB Leipzig in the summer after reaching a pre-contract agreement with the west Londoners, football.london understands. Malo Gusto will also officially become a Chelsea player at the end of the season after returning on loan to Lyon in January.
