With exactly a month remaining in the 2022 summer transfer window, it's showtime for Chelsea. It's a window that promised so much but, so far, has delivered not too much.
Granted, the Blues have completed – what look like – two very smart signings. Raheem Sterling arrived from Manchester City for around £55million (£45m plus £10m in add-ons), while Kalidou Koulibaly joined from Napoli for £33.8m.
However, three new central defenders were the target for Chelsea going into the summer window, knowing they would lose both Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen on free transfers. Chelsea are currently locked in talks with Leicester City over the possible signing of Wesley Fofana, but nothing is advanced on that front just yet.
