Mudryk and Enzo Fernandez in, Pulisic starts - Chelsea's most expensive XI possible

Brighton spent around £195million under Graham Potter in his three and a bit seasons on the south coast. Chelsea spent comfortably more than that in January alone.

Break it down even more, and it's almost exactly the same price Chelsea paid for Enzo Fernandez, Wesley Fofana (signed before Potter joined) and David Datro Fofana. Add in Christopher Nkunku and Chelsea have paid out more than double in transfer fees for players under Todd Boehly's joint ownership than Potter saw leave the Amex Stadium.

There's more. Brighton in their entire history have spent less than Boehly on transfers at Chelsea in the past nine months. The Blues' January spending is more than Brentford FC, ever.
