Top source expects Chelsea to get transfer deals sealed before windows open | OneFootball

Chelsea want to build a squad of players that can take them back to the top again, that is the long-term goal of the new ownership group.

Having spent £250m on new players in the summer, they don’t have any plans to slow down just yet, and are expected to be busy again in January, and again in the summer transfer window.

Sources: Chelsea back in for Inter Milan defender!

As multiple sources have now confirmed, they are already on the verge of confirming Christopher Nkunku as a new attacking signing from RB Leipzig, but there will be more. He is expected to arrive in the summer, but not until then.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano believes that Nkunku will not be the only new signing that they get done before a window is even open. The Italian reporter believes that Todd Boehly will be looking to get a number of new deals confirmed in advance, as the project gets underway.

Romano writes in his Daily Briefing for Caught Offside today: “Chelsea can be surprising as they have Todd Boehly making decisions on transfers, but now also a new board with Joe Shields, Laurence Stewart, Paul Winstanley and soon Christopher Vivell to plan for new signings. So everything is open, they will be very active on future plans. I would not be surprised if they try again something like they’ve done with the early move for Nkunku.”
