Chelsea head coach Graham Potter has warned that further spending in this transfer window could upset the balance of his squad on the afternoon Mykhaylo Mudryk became the fifth addition in the opening 15 days of the winter market.
After stealing the Ukraine winger from under the noses of Arsenal by offering a deal worth up to £87m including add-ons, Potter said that he is looking forward to working with the fourth most expensive player in Premier League history.
But he also sounded a cautionary note around the amount of new faces arriving at Stamford Bridge at a time when 10 first-team players are sidelined by injury, while calling on the need for a stable structure behind the scenes.
