Not too often since Todd Boehly bought Chelsea Football Club almost 12 months ago has the American billionaire been left frustrated in any sort of transfer business.
Of course, there was the Enzo Fernandez saga in January that perhaps dragged on more than the club would have hoped. But they got it done. There was also the Wesley Fofana – yes, we're going to call it that word again – saga a few months before. But again, they got it done.
Another deal Chelsea got done was the signing of Malo Gusto from Lyon in January. The club, however, had to compromise with the French outfit who would only sanction the deal should Gusto play the rest of the 2022/23 season with them. Chelsea were willing to allow this, signifying just how highly they rate Gusto. The Blues could have gone out and got someone else but that was never even considered.
