Chelsea have been told just how good one of their main transfer targets is, but on the flip side it means that they could end up paying over the odds to sign them.
After losing 1-0 to Newcastle in the final league game before the 2022 World Cup it was clear, if it wasn't already, that something needs to be done at Stamford Bridge to overturn a stale squad. Even Graham Potter's introduction couldn't sustain a bounce for longer than two months before the same questions came about.
The time is now for Todd Boehly to ensure that in 12 months time there are different questions, if any questions. Potter faces a challenge with the injuries in the current squad and the lack of planning in the transfer market, to get anywhere. The starting point for change can be just around the corner though.
