Todd Boehly has been slammed by Martin Keown for spending silly money on Marc Cucurella - as the Chelsea chief prepares to sanction a lavish £300million spending spree to acquire Frenkie de Jong, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Wesley Fofana.
After months of turmoil at Stamford Bridge, the Blues have been active in the transfer market since Boehly's takeover of the club was signed off earlier this summer. Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly and Carney Chukwuemeka have all arrived for significant transfer fees, while Cucurella has now arrived from the Seagulls for a sum that could eclipse £62m if various add-ons are met.
But the Londoners are still in desperate need of reinforcements - particularly in defence after Thomas Tuchel lost the services of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen.
