The wait is over. Chelsea finally announced on Monday that Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital's consortium have completed their takeover of the west London club.
Months of ups and downs in terms of speculation can finally be put behind us as the Blues prepare for a new era after 19 years under Roman Abramovich's ownership. For Chelsea, the main objective going into next season is to try and reduce the gap between themselves and the Premier League's top two, Manchester City and Liverpool.
That's easier said than done, though, and the Blues know that a faultless summer transfer window can go some way in doing just this. Man City and Liverpool's recruitment has been sensational over the last few years, with the clubs rarely missing a beat when signing players.
