The transfer window has closed and Chelsea were typically busy, signing 13 players for £256m this summer. The Blues sold 20 players and generated £159m.
One shock move saw Kepa Arrizabalaga joining Bournemouth on loan after being at Real Madrid last season. Chelsea paid £33m for Hakim Ziyech but ended up releasing him on a free with a year left on his contracts.
Chelsea sold a number of academy talents due to the Premier League’s profit and sustainability regulations, however, so that’s one negative. Ian Maatsen, Omari Hutchinson, Lewis Hall and Conor Gallagher being sold was profitable but controversial.
Chelsea confirmed every signing, loan and sale on their official website.
