The transfer window is finally open and it needs to be a busy one for Chelsea. The Blues have a range of priorities to ensure Thomas Tuchel's squad can compete on all fronts and potentially make a challenge for the Premier League.
The German coach has been preparing for a rebuild with a number of incoming players required in the form of transfers or Chelsea aces returning from loan. Equally, the Blues are already set for a number of departures and may hope for a number to give the squad more room to manoeuvre when they return to training in July.
Tuchel said ahead of the end of the season: "We are hoping, but at the moment, we are not. You ask many times if we have a delay in approaching players and making plans, of course, a huge delay. We are affected by it, players are going out. We are rebuilding, not improving the squad. We are rebuilding. This is always challenging, but we are up for the challenge.
