Over the next week, football.london will be taking a look back at the key events at Stamford Bridge over an unforgettable 2022.
Pre-season began at Cobham with shots of a smiling Ben Chilwell back from his anterior cruciate ligament injury suffered the previous November. Chelsea would soon travel to the United States for the first time since 2016 for a tour beginning in Los Angeles and ending in Orlando, stopping along the way in Las Vegas and Carolina.
The first signing of the Todd Boehly and Clearlake era would be Raheem Sterling, bought for £45million from Manchester City, pictured in the new Nike shirt in front of the LA Palm trees. A few days later, another iconic landmark, another new signing. Kalidou Koulibaly posing with the Bellagio Fountain behind.
