Chelsea got the big one done, eventually. A transfer saga that took an entire window and more to materialise. On the way to completing Enzo Fernandez's signing there was also the small case of seven others joining too.
Having started relatively low-key with David Datro Fofana for £10million from Molde, Chelsea gradually grew. Andrey Santos, £12million from Vasco de Gama, was next before the relatively unknown quantity of Benoit Badiashile. For £35million he already looks a good pick-up.
Then things really accelerated. Joao Felix on loan was greeted with excited but scepticism due to the price of his loan but it was nonetheless a bright new attacker. One loss to Fulham later and Mykhailo Mudryk came in remarkably. The pace had been stepped up.
