Chelsea have been under the spotlight under their new owners Boehly-Clearlake since the US consortium took over the club last May. A transfer spend of more than half-a-billion-pounds has only brought a heightened expectation for the Blues, who are yet to match that with their performances.
The side sit mid-table in the Premier League after a shake-up to the squad that has seen a number of players join last summer and this January. "I'm not complaining about it," Graham Potter said earlier this month on the squad's size. "It's exciting but a test for me and the staff.
"We have a lot of good players and we have to create an environment where there is healthy competition. Only eleven can play, that is how it is, but it's about being ready and supporting the team." Before adding on the competition for places: "There will be a few awkward conversations because only eleven can play. You have to be as honest as you can and respect the fact that all players want to play and compete on a regular basis."
