'Makes no sense' - Graeme Souness delivers brutal verdict on Liverpool rival's £280m deals

Liverpool legend Graeme Souness has delivered a brutal verdict on the transfer business conducted by Chelsea.

The Reds had a relatively quiet transfer window compared to their Premier League rivals. Darwin Nunez, Calvin Ramsay and Fabio Carvalho were all signed by mid-June, while loan arrival Arthur Melo was brought in late on.

Chelsea, on the other hand, signed 11 new players under the new ownership of Todd Boehly, spending close to £280million. Raheem Sterling, Marc Cucurella, Wesley Fofana, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Denis Zakaria, Carney Chukwuemeka, Kalidou Koulibaly, Cesare Casadei, Gabriel Slonina, Eddie Beach, Omari Hutchinson and Zak Sturge have all been signed by the London club this summer, with some going back out on loan or being added to the academy ranks.
