It isn't particularly new news that Chelsea are spending and spending big under their new ownership. Over £500million has been committed in the transfer market since the summer with over half of that coming in January. In a month known for being tough to complete deals, Chelsea signed eight players.
They have now purchased an entire XI of players aged 24 or under since Todd Boehly and his co-owners took over: Gabriel Slonina, Malo Gusto, Benoit Badiashile, Wesley Fofana, Marc Cucurella, Andrey Santos, Enzo Fernandez, Carney Chukwuemeka, Mykhailo Mudryk, David Datro Fofana, Noni Madueke.
Everyone in that list is 22 or under except for Cucurella, 24. Swap him out for Cesare Casadei and it could be an entire XI under 22 but for formation purposes it looks better with a natural fullback.
