Reports suggest that Chelsea are interested in Manchester United's Jadon Sancho, which would be the Blues' ninth signing of the summer after adding Pedro Neto from Wolves.
It’s the latest in a huge number of moves to Stamford Bridge which many outsiders will question considering the 24-year-old's injury record that has reduced Neto to just 36 Premier League starts in the last three seasons.
It also poses the question as to who will make Chelsea’s best XI and how much game time their bloated squad will receive. The Blues had so many injuries last season that we never got to see who their best XI actually was, but there's a chance that the likes of Marc Cucurella, Axel Disasi, Benoit Badiashile, Malo Gusto, Romeo Lavia, Raheem Sterling, Noni Madueke and Sancho - assuming he signs - are all kept in bit-part roles in the upcoming campaign.
Below we look at the 35 players brought to Stamford Bridge – excluding youth signings – under Todd Boehly.
Of course, it hasn’t all been one-way traffic, and the Blues have been able to balance the books somewhat by clearing out a number of Cobham graduates, including Mason Mount, Ian Maatsen and Lewis Hall, with Conor Gallagher close to a move to Atletico Madrid.
