Todd Boehly is showing credentials outside of his proprietor role as the new co-owner continues to make big strides Chelsea as an acting sporting director this summer.
The American has already secured big-money signings to strengthen Thomas Tuchel's first-choice XI by bringing in Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly and Marc Cucurella but he has also shown an immediate desire to fulfil promises including investments in the women's team, stadium development and youth prospects.
By bringing in 18-year-olds Gabriel Slonina and Carney Chukwuemeka, alongside an expected deal for Cesare Casadei, Boehly is including academy director Neil Bath in transfer business and it's paying off. Further statement additions have included even younger players Omari Hutchinson, Tyler Dibling and Zak Sturge.
