Chelsea's summer transfer window hasn't yet yielded any new signings to date as pre-season has gotten underway at Cobham.
The Blues have a £200million plus transfer budget which is set to aid Thomas Tuchel in purchasing at least six players this summer. However, it seems so far, outgoings have been the order of the day, with Romelu Lukaku's exit the only one of notice to date alongside the early defensive exodus.
Whilst their rivals have been strengthening significantly so far this summer, including Tottenham, interim sporting director Todd Boehly has remained calm at the situation with the first signing expected through the doors next week in the form of Raheem Sterling.

The likes of Nathan Aké, Matthijs de Ligt and others could follow suit soon and football.london brings you all the latest Chelsea transfer headlines as we approach a new week of business for the Blues.
Matthijs de Ligt rejection
As we approach another week of de Ligt negotiations, the expectation is that Juventus are set to reject Chelsea's next offer for the Dutchman.
Corriere dello Sport and other Italian outlets are reporting that an offer worth up to £67million outright without players is expected to be rejected by the Turin side.
Other reports have indicated that despite Juventus' interests in various Chelsea players like Jorginho, Timo Werner and Christian Pulisic, they want a straight cash deal for the 22-year-old and will negotiate separately for the aforementioned trio.
Jules Kounde hope restored
Whether the Frenchman puts pen to paper on a Chelsea contract is a debate that never looked like coming into any doubt, especially during the Roman Abramovich days. However, since selling the club, Todd Boehly's focus has been elsewhere with de Ligt and Ake coming to mind.
The latest Spanish reports had indicated that there had been a breakdown in talks between Sevilla and the Blues for the sale of the 5' 8" centre-half, but Diario AS have indicated that all is not lost yet.
They have reported, via Sport Witness, that despite the latest round of talks having 'not yet yielded positive results,' a compromise could still be made from the Andalusians, as they need the money to comply with La Liga regulations.
Hakim Ziyech offer prepared
Football Italia have reported that AC Milan could offer £22m to sign the Moroccan this summer as the Rossoneri look to respond to their city rivals' Lukaku loan signing.
Ziyech, who was very happy in the first few days of Chelsea's pre-season, is expected to move on this summer to compensate for the arrival of Sterling and other potential incoming players.
Marco Asensio is also being looked at by Stefano Pioli's side if they cannot come to a compromise with the current World Champions for the 29-year-old.
