Chelsea's move for Brighton star Moises Caicedo could be heavily impacted by their rivals Arsenal completing the signing of Declan Rice this summer. It comes as the Blues are looking to build upon their squad once again, following a flurry of exits, with a few more to come.
The previous campaign saw the west London outfit record a worst Premier League finish in 12th place, with a bloated dressing room that had to be addressed before the new season. Ten departures have already been confirmed, meaning that attention can turn to signings.
A particular area of concern that needs to be looked at is the midfield, with the loss of Jorginho, N'Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic, Mason Mount and Ruben Loftus-Cheek in recent months leaving very few options. Enzo Fernandez and Conor Gallagher are the only remaining first-team players at Mauricio Pochettino's disposal at this time.
