Chelsea waved goodbye to another key member of Roman Abramovich's old regime when Petr Cech left the club on Monday.
Now, the attention shifts to bringing fresh faces into the club in terms of transfers with Todd Boehly and Thomas Tuchel working to sign players. Tuchel wants to mount a major recruitment drive but fans are already growing restless at the lack of activity.
Romelu Lukaku will spend next season on loan at Inter Milan while Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen have already left. And that leaves Tuchel short of bodies when he wants his squad to get stronger, not weaker.
