Todd Boehly's 'aggressive' Chelsea transfer style revealed as final Declan Rice decision made

Todd Boehly has been praised for his 'aggressive' style to conducting business as Chelsea have been told what to expect from an LA Dodgers perspective amid Declan Rice hopes fading away.

Since his £4.25billion takeover was confirmed, it's been all hands to the pump for Roman Abramovich's successor, who has had a lot on his plate to deal with internally in SW6. Not only have key players left in the backline but board members galore like Marina Granovskaia, Petr Cech and Bruce Buck stepped down from their roles.

This has all culminated in multiple changes to the club's hierarchy, with Boehly himself acting as Sporting Director as he looks to live up on his promise of £200million plus spent on six signings that manager Thomas Tuchel requires to rebuild. So far, in spite of what look to be overall disappointments in the Ousmane Dembele and Raphinha transfer races, Boehly looks to have secured the signing of Man City winger Raheem Sterling for an initial fee of £45million plus £10m in add-ons.
