Chelsea face some major dilemmas over the next few months as the ownership and recruitment team prepare for the upcoming summer transfer market. The Boehly-Clearlake regime have already overseen two transfer windows since taking over at the club, with over half-a-billion-pounds spent so far.
The clear goal has been to build a team for the future, though the huge squad turnover already undertaken has outlined the commitment needed to get the process underway. It means that there may be a larger focus on exits this summer, however there is one glaring weakness for Graham Potter to deal with.
That's the lack of a central striker, something that the side haven't properly addressed for a few years after the seemingly failed move for Romelu Lukaku in 2021. With plenty of talk surrounding the need for a proven goal scorer, the manager defended his side for their inability to add to their ranks up front in January.
