There is a high likelihood that transfer deadline day will be one of the busiest from a Chelsea perspective in many years.
Wesley Fofana, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Frenkie De Jong and Anthony Gordon could all end up joining on that day, or their futures dominate the conversation. Potential departures in Hakim Ziyech, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Christian Pulisic still are possible.
The fervent support for more signings is unlikely to relent from fans. After seeing nearly £200m spent already in the Todd Boehly and Clearlake consortium in an eye-catching flurry of business, a grand finale is expected, even if the final few targets split opinion.
