Todd Boehly completes huge £65m Chelsea deal as major transfer plan revealed

Todd Boehly's vision for Chelsea is starting to take shape after a difficult first year at the helm of the football club, which included plenty of transition from the old regime. The American investor, backed by Clearlake Capital, completed a takeover of the Blues in May 2022 from former owner Roman Abramovich.

Winning the race to buy the west London outfit, the new owners looked to make a host of changes to set the operation up in their vision. A whole host of signings were needed first to replenish the squad before the controversial decision to dismiss Thomas Tuchel was made.

Graham Potter was seen as the new man for the future of Chelsea, but after a January window that included another heavy investment, a lack of results eventually saw him let go too. Bruno Saltor was handed one game in charge as caretaker boss before former midfielder and manager Frank Lampard took over as interim until the end of the campaign.
