Given that Chelsea are already close to approaching the £200m spending mark for the summer transfer window, it would be strange to think that money could put off Todd Boehly. So far the new co-owner has backed up his promises to be engaged, committed and invested in his new asset, but he isn't willing to be slapdash with his cash.
Having already taken out a massive £800m loan to restructure the club's workings, Boehly is clearly taking his role seriously, but having already walked away from deals for Jules Kounde and not becoming hung up waiting for Frenkie de Jong, the American has also demonstrated cut-throat and brutal business decisions as well.
Although Chelsea are working their way out of paying a record fee for a defender in order to sign Wesley Fofana, big spending is still expected, but the latest transfer chase once again proves that Boehly won't be taken advantage of.
