The summer transfer window saw a record-breaking spend from Chelsea as new owners Clearlake-Boehly looked to reshape the squad with a £271million warchest. An emphasis was made on strengthening the Blues for the current season and future campaigns.

"They have a good understanding of what they want to achieve, in the long-term, they have a plan," New boss Graham Potter said of Chelsea's owners when he arrived.
