Chelsea face an important summer in the transfer market as they look to improve their squad further following Enzo Maresca's arrival.
Mauricio Pochettino joined the Blues last summer, however he lasted just 11 months in charge and left by mutual consent on 21 May after a post-season review meeting.
The Blues subsequently announced on 3 June that Maresca had been appointed as their new manager.
Although Todd Boehly has overseen a spend of more than €1.1 billion on new players since arriving at the club in 2022, there has been no success to show for it, with the Stamford Bridge outfit finishing 12th in his first campaign as owner and sixth in 2023-24.
However, Chelsea continue to target a raft of promising young players, despite the evident need for more experience in the dressing room.
Napoli striker Victor Osimhen headlines Chelsea’s summer transfer targets, and many other deals could well be completed in a bid to get their squad into shape.
The west London club have already signed Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Filip Jorgensen, Omari Kellyman, Aaron Anselmino, Renato Veiga, Caleb Wiley, Pedro Neto, Marc Guiu and Tosin Adarabioyo this summer, while Estevao Willian and Kendry Paez will arrive in 2025.
In addition, Chelsea have also sold the likes of Ian Maatsen, Lewis Hall and Omari Hutchinson, with Hakim Ziyech and Thiago Silva departing on free transfers.
Our Chelsea transfer live blog brings you all the latest news surrounding the Blues, including exclusives from our own reporters as well as checking out what the other big names are saying (including the likes of Fabrizio Romano and David Ornstein).
The Blues are expected to see several more players come and go this summer, and the Stamford Bridge rumour mill is already in full swing.

Enzo Maresca has admitted that he has told star players they won't play every game.
"When we signed Jadon [Sancho] we were looking for another winger more or less like Noni [Madueke]," said the Italian boss.
"Noni’s doing that on the right side - winning one-v-ones, creating chances, scoring goals. We are looking for the same thing on our left-hand side with Jadon. We have already Misha [Mykhailo Mudryk] there, Pedro [Neto] is playing there, but it’s good to have both wingers who can give us this kind of option.
"At the end of the game I just said to the players - Christo [Nkunku], Cole [Palmer], Jadon, Joao [Felix], Noni, Misha, Pedro – they are not all going to play all the games.
"All they need to do is exactly what they did tonight: and say, 'If I play I give all my best, if I go on for 10 minutes I have to give all my best'."
