Former Bayern Munich CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has taken aim at Chelsea and Todd Boehly for their transfer window choices in a major outburst. The financial power of the Premier League has been the talk of the town in the past month after England once more dominated the spending.
It has seen mid-table and relegation threatened sides poach managers and players at historically larger clubs in Europe. Wolves are now managed by former Real Madrid and Spain boss Julen Lopetegui, while Aston Villa were deemed more attractive than last season's Champions League semi-finalists Villarreal by Unai Emery.
Outside of this, Pablo Sarabia was just one of the star names moving to bottom half clubs in England from sides elsewhere in European competition. None of this was more heavily scrutinised than Chelsea's outlandish spending once again.
