Chelsea supporters had probably assumed the frantic nature of the summer transfer window following the takeover by the Todd Boehly and Clearlake Captial consortium would see a calmer January, where usually deals are sparse and hard to come by.
But as the American-led ownership has already proven to the Premier League and world football, going with the status quo is not the modus operandi.
FYI, take a deep breath before reading this list. In January Chelsea signed a total of eight players: Benoit Badiashile, David Datro Fofana, Andrey Santos, Joao Felix (loan), Mykhailo Mudryk, Noni Madueke, Malo Gusto and finally, Enzo Fernandez.
