Premier League chief executive Richard Masters has said there are questions over whether Chelsea can sell some of their players in the summer transfer window following an unprecedented spend in the previous two windows.
But Masters, who was speaking at the Financial Times’ Business of Football Summit, believes that it is too early to judge the new owners’ recruitment drive and it will not be for another three years before their true intentions are clear.
Chelsea spent a record £320m in the January window having committed more than £250m last summer with the new chairman Todd Boehly targeting young players on some of the longest contracts in Premier League history.
