Mauricio Pochettino has put a huge deadline in place for Chelsea to sign Moises Caicedo from Brighton. The Ecuador international is the Blues' top midfield target but are yet to make significant progress to bring him to west London with outgoings thus far being the main focus of the summer window.
Mason Mount's £60million move to Manchester United took Chelsea's funds acquired in sales to £201million with Cesar Azpiliceuta the latest to depart. The bulk of that sum was generated through Premier League moves for Kai Havertz, Mateo Kovacic and Mount.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek has signed for AC Milan and could soon be joined by Christian Pulisic, while Edouard Mendy and Kalidou Koulibaly completed moves to the Middle East. The mass sales not only helped the Blues balance their financial books, but it has also lessened the demand in training for Pochettino to include everyone.
