Chelsea are on the verge of entering their first transfer window under the new ownership of Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital and it's a significant one. The names linked to the Blues are adding up with Ousmane Dembele, Jules Kounde, Christopher Nkunku and others leading the way.

It's a pivotal few months ahead as Thomas Tuchel aims for a rebuild at Cobham, with the potential to form a squad of his own identity 18 months into the job. The only signings made by Chelsea since the German coach took the hotseat are Romelu Lukaku, Marcus Bettinelli and Saul Niguez.
