There has been no shortage of things to do for Todd Boehly and Chelsea's new ownership group since they took charge in the summer. There was a first transfer window, where the US-businessman took the role of interim-sporting director, not long followed by a change in manager - and there have been a plethora of backroom appointments since.
Contract issues have not been far away from the agenda either. The Blues set out Reece James' contract as a priority and got the wingback to extend his deal with the club in September, despite there being time to run on his deal.
The likes of Thiago Silva, N'Golo Kante and Jorginho all currently look set to enter the final six months of their deal, much like Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen did last year. Chelsea lost the latter players for free last summer, leaving the new owners with a hefty task in replenishing the defence in their opening weeks. You would suspect they would not want to go through that process too often.
