It’s set to be a busy final month of the transfer window for Chelsea as new owner Todd Boehly continues to fund a spending spree at Stamford Bridge, in an effort to close the gap on Liverpool and Man City at the top of the table.
Carney Chukwuemeka has become Thomas Tuchel's fourth signing of the summer after a £20m deal was agreed with Aston Villa, following on from the £47.5m arrival of Raheem Sterling, the £33m addition of Kalidou Koulibaly and the £12m acquisition of Gabriel Slonina. Yet the Londoners won’t be done there, with them reportedly also working on deals for Marc Cucurella, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Frenkie de Jong.
Yet there is no sign of Chelsea adding a new striker to their ranks. Perhaps for the best given their record with natural frontmen in recent years, but with Romelu Lukaku having returned to Inter Milan on loan, Timo Werner in talks to return to RB Leipzig and Michy Batshuayi and Armando Broja both available for transfer, Tuchel’s side could find themselves rather light in attack.
