Who will be lining up in the midfield for Graham Potter next season and for the forthcoming future? That's the key question that Todd Boehly and the new sporting director, whoever is appointed, will have to answer when next summer's transfer window comes around.
The Blues have just come off the back of a huge summer spend in the first transfer window under the new ownership group who have shown their appetite to splash £250million Roman Abramovich style to try and not only help the manager on the pitch but also to match the ambitions of their predecessor. Defence and attack were the order of the time as Wesley Fofana, Marc Cucurella, Kalidou Koulibaly, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Raheem Sterling were all signed. In midfield, Denis Zakaria was signed on a season-long loan whilst Carney Chukwuemeka is certainly one for the long-term future of this newly looked Blues outfit.
It is expected that in the next two transfer windows, the midfield is expected to be high up on the agenda for Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital with N'Golo Kante and Jorginho's contractual situations have caused some area for concern amid the latest Athletic update. Therefore, it's really no surprise to see the likes of Declan Rice amongst others continually linked. Interestingly enough though, two midfielders could be open to a Stamford Bridge switch if £150million was to be stumped up. Moises Caicedo has admitted already that he would be open to a Potter reunion in the future.
