Chelsea have been the big spenders in recent transfer windows with Todd Boehly flexing his financial muscles following his takeover of the club.
The Blues have added a host of players for substantial transfer fees across the last two trading periods, with their new American owner splashing the cash after purchasing the club. Moises Caicedo, Christopher Nkunku and Cole Palmer were among a number of high profile arrivals during the most recent summer transfer window, adding further options to Mauricio Pochettino's squad.
