Chelsea's new ownership has done more than just change hands since Todd Boehly has arrived at Stamford Bridge. The American has flung himself head first into transfer negotiations, watching matches and making himself familiar with the players.
It has been a baptism of fire for Boehly and Clearlake as they look to oversee a squad reshuffle this summer, attempting to re-establish the Blues' place amongst the world class elite. Like nothing that fans have ever seen before, the LA Dodgers co-owner has taken on his role as owner and expanded it to interim sporting director in a bid to start the club transformation as soon as possible.
This makes it timely that Thomas Tuchel and his team have embarked on a pre-season tour of the States earlier this week. The marketing strategy originally planned to make the use of the warm weather and parading Christian Pulisic to his national fans has nicely coincided with Boehly's takeover.
