Chelsea's new owners will discover the last few weeks have been the calm before the storm as the 2021-22 season finally draws to a close.

The extended international window has stopped the usual free-for-all out of respect for the players still taking part in meaningful Nations League clashes with their countries.

Mirror Sport checks out the latest Chelsea transfer news and rumours.
