Chelsea's long-term transfer vision is already being constructed by their new owners, with Todd Boehly setting up the infrastructure to begin his grand plan at the club. Under the former regime, spending big was seen as a necessity, but in a new era for the Blues, self-sustainability appears to be at the core.
The summer underlined the conflict between the old and new regime, with plenty of money being spent so the squad could stay competitive, whilst also looking to snap up some younger talent to add for the future. The switch of head coach to Graham Potter outlined their ambition to get everybody working towards the same goal.
The backroom staff have also been completely changed, with Boehly currently hiring a number of top scouts and directors from around the world to better improve the sustainability at the club. “Sourcing and identifying talent is really a global proposition,” the part-owner said in a SALT conference when discussing Chelsea's strategy.
