Joe Cole and Owen Hargreaves agree on Chelsea transfer priority as Arsenal template targeted

Joe Cole and Owen Hargreaves have warned Todd Boehly that he has a 'big job' on his hands in the summer. Chelsea spent over £300million in the January transfer window, completing deals for eight players.

Enzo Fernandez penned a deal with the west Londoners on deadline day for a club-record fee, following Mykhailo Mudryk, Noni Madueke, David Datro Fofana, Benoit Badiashile and Andrey Santos to Stamford Bridge, with Malo Gusto arriving at the end of the season. Joao Felix also joined on loan from Atletico Madrid.

However, while Chelsea may have welcomed some exciting names to the club, they've so far failed to offload any in return, leaving Graham Potter's squad rather bloated. In fact, the Blues' roster is so large that at any given time there could be at least 30 first-team players in all vying for a place in the starting line-up.
