Chelsea remain one of the most powerful clubs in world football, financially, after Todd Boehly and the Clearlake consortium completed a £4billion takeover at Stamford Bridge last year. The Blues spent close to £300million in the summer transfer window and have already reached half of that total in the January window.
Mykhailo Mudryk became Boehly's most expensive transfer signing since he became co-owner with the 22-year-old completing an £88million transfer from Shakhtar Donetsk. Mudyrk is the fifth arrival in January, joining the likes of David Datro Fofana, Andrey Santos, Benoit Badiashile and Joao Felix.
Graham Potter is taking the opportunity this month to strengthen his squad and add players that fit into his tactics and play style after inheriting Thomas Tuchel's squad just days after the summer window closed. More signings are expected before the January transfer window closes with Chelsea targeting a new central midfielder and right wing-back.
