Erling Haaland to Man City and the Romelu Lukaku decision leaving Chelsea in a familiar position

Even with the process of Chelsea finding new owners ongoing and sanctions preventing the Blues being able to agree new contracts or complete any form of transfer, with eight matches left of the season it's impossible to not start thinking about the transfer window.

The Blues brought in three players last summer in Romelu Lukaku, Marcus Bettinelli and Saul Niguez. A quieter window than many expected, but the £97.5million move for the Belgian definitely showed significant outlay.

Obviously, the move has not panned out as the club would have hoped. Lukaku has netted 12 goals over the course of the season, one every 199 minutes. That's bettered only by Timo Werner in the Chelsea squad, but has seen Lukaku drop out of the starting XI by the way of some ineffective performances, particularly in the Premier League.
