This summer is a step into the unknown for Chelsea. For the first time in 19 years, the club is under new ownership and changes are inevitable. It's simply a case of when rather than if they will be made by Todd Boehly, who fronted the consortium that bought Chelsea from Roman Abramovich.
One decision that has already been made is that Thomas Tuchel will be given greater licence than previous head coaches to oversee Chelsea's work in the transfer market – and there is a lot to do with several question marks over key members of the first-team squad.
Signings are needed, potentially in every position. The departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen have made defence a priority but the futures of midfielders N'Golo Kante and Jorginho need to be clarified given the duo have just 12 months remaining on their contracts.
