Since taking over Chelsea in the summer Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital have shown they are not afraid to spend money. There have been no shortage of new arrivals at Stamford Bridge since Boehly became interim-sporting director, and with three January additions already, that shows no sign of slowing down.
David Datro Fofana, Andrey Santos and defender Benoit Badaishile have all been confirmed as Chelsea players in 2023 with less than a week of the window gone. The latter signed a seven-and-a-half-year deal after completing his £34million move from Monaco as Chelsea continue to look to set themselves up for the present and the future.
Boehly and co-controlling owner Behdad Eghbali said: "We're delighted to welcome Benoit to Chelsea. He's an excellent young player who has quickly established a strong reputation for himself and has a huge amount of experience for his young age. We are sure he will form an important part of our team in the years ahead."
