Chelsea could soon confirm their seventh summer signing with another young star set to join the Under-21s squad. In terms of senior arrivals, Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson are likely the only two who will make an immediate impact for Mauricio Pochettino, with Diego Moreira and Alex Matos expected to compete in Premier League 2.
Kendry Paez and Dujuan Richards are both on the books of Chelsea after sealing summer moves but will officially begin their playing careers at Stamford Bridge in 2025 and 2024, respectively. Securing marquee first-team exits has been the priority for Todd Boehly and co. with 11 Chelsea players already leaving in just three weeks of the summer window being open.
Bryan Fiabema, Xavier Simons, Dujon Sterling and Charlie Webster, who has joined Herenveen on loan, are the stars to seal an exit without breaking into the senior squad. Nonetheless, from seven major departures, over £200million has been generated with the majority of funds arriving through transfers for Mateo Kovacic, Kai Havertz and Mason Mount with £150million coming the way of Chelsea through the sale of the trio.
