When does 2022 summer transfer window open as Chelsea cleared for business as takeover completed

We are now fast approaching the summer transfer window. So much so, that deals are already in the pipeline, despite the window not yet being open.

It was Arsenal who spent more than any other side in the English top-flight last time out, splashing in excess £140million on six first-team players, with the likes of Martin Odegaard, Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu all joining Mikel Arteta's revolution. Technical director Edu is expected to be busy again this time around as the Brazilian transfer chief looks to find bring in at least one centre-forward given Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah are both into the final two months of their respective contracts at the Emirates Stadium.

Chelsea's window looked promising at the time, spending a club-record £97.5million on Inter Milan frontman Romelu Lukaku. However, the Belgian international has endured a difficult time at Stamford Bridge, netting just five league goals - falling behind Kai Havertz in Thomas Tuchel's pecking order.
