Seven days. That's all that remains of the 2022 summer transfer window. And it leaves new Chelsea co-owner and interim sporting director Todd Boehly facing a battle against the clock to complete the rebuild of Thomas Tuchel's squad.
This summer, Chelsea have completed three big-money signings for the here and now: Raheem Sterling arrived from Man City for £47.5million, Kalidou Koulibaly was signed from Napoli for £34million, and Marc Cucurella arrived in a deal that could reach £62.5million if certain add-ons are met.
Yet the Blues are far from done. A move for Wesley Fofana from Leicester City remains in the pipeline; what Boehly has to do is match the Foxes' £80million asking price for the 21-year-old, who is currently training with the club's Development Squad having missed a training session last week.
