The January transfer window is yet to open but the groundwork put in place by Todd Boehly has gradually improved the feeling amongst the supporters after a difficult end to 2022. Prior to the World Cup, Chelsea suffered four defeats in five games to find themselves drifting apart from their Premier League rivals but the winter window provides an injection of optimism.
As the American businessman did in the summer, Boehly is expected to be busy throughout next month's window in a bid to revamp Graham Potter's squad. Christopher Nkunku's services have reportedly already been 'confirmed' while the process of signing Enzo Fernandez has already begun.
football.london understands that the Blues are prepared to break their £97.5million transfer record for the World Cup winner in January amid the hunt for a new midfielder. The area of the pitch is a position co-owners Boehly and Behdad Eghbali will attempt to overhaul in the near future, with Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham joining Fernandez as potential additions.
