It's on June 10 that the summer transfer window will officially open. And there is much work for Todd Boehly and Thomas Tuchel to complete to ensure the Chelsea squad is ready to compete come the start of the 2022/23 campaign.
The Blues finished 19 points behind Premier League champions Man City last term, and closing that gap in a single window will not be easy – it may even prove impossible. Yet efforts need to be made to reshape the squad in Tuchel's image. The mish-mash approach to squad building under various head coaches seen during the Roman Abramovich era must end.
Signings are required, especially given Chelsea have lost both Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger this summer. And there may well be further departures in the weeks ahead. Some may prove unpopular, maybe even harsh. Others could very well be welcomed by the Blues' fanbase.
