Chelsea transfer targets show Todd Boehly is ready to avoid negative Roman Abramovich regime

Chelsea are entering an exciting new era with Todd Boehly at the wheel. Though many fans seem to have grown restless with the lack of transfer activity done this summer, there is reason to celebrate. Roman Abramovich will forever have a legacy with Chelsea which champions their success over the last 20 years. The Russian billionaire has left big shoes to fill but Boehly is making his own staple starting with the transfer window.

The Blues have missed out on just one transfer that they have shared long term interest in - Aurelien Tchouameni. The Frenchman preferred a move to Real Madrid rather than to wait for Chelsea to deal with their backroom issues. Since then, the Blues have been linked with a number of different targets indicating that Boehly is not willing to let another one go.

Raphinha has become the latest forward to be linked with Thomas Tuchel’s squad. With interest from Barcelona and Arsenal, the Blues were late to the party in offering a last-minute bid for the Brazilian. Leeds and Chelsea came to a £60 million agreement quite quickly and sports journalist, Dean Jones believes that this could be a statement.
