Chelsea owner Todd Boehly has been criticised for taking charge of the Blues' summer transfer business.
Transfers had been part of the remit of Marina Granovskaia during the tenure of previous owner Roman Abramovich. However, with Granovskaia's departure in the light of a Boehly-led consortium taking over, the new owner holds a more prominent role in the Blues' efforts to strengthen their squad ahead of the 2022-23 season, acting as the interim sporting director
There have been further departures since, with Petr Cech - who also had a hand in a number of transfers, notably Edouard Mendy - also quitting the club. And that has seen former Wales striker Dean Saunders offer some scathing analysis of the new owner and his decision to take transfer matters into his own hands.
