Chelsea transfers: Maguire, Fofana, Aubameyang included in potential XI for 22/23 season

Chelsea certainly haven’t been shy about splashing the cash this summer following the arrival of new chairman Todd Boehly.

Per Transfermarkt, the American businessman has already shelled out more than £181 million on new faces, including Marc Cucurella, Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly.

However, despite a decent start to the new Premier League campaign that has seen them take four points from their opening two games, it seems that the Blues’ business is far from done in this transfer window.

With that in mind, we’ve decided to take a look at how the Chelsea starting XI could look for the visit of West Ham on September 4 – their first match following the closure of the window – should they land all of their reported targets.

Goalkeeper

Chelsea have been linked with players in a wide variety of positions this summer. However, Edouard Mendy’s position in between the sticks has never been in much doubt.

Barring injury and suspension, the Senegalese shot-stopper will still be the man with the gloves next month.

Defenders

Cucurella looks set to form a formidable wing-back partnership with Reece James at Stamford Bridge this season, but matters at the heart of Chelsea’s defence are far from settled.

Koulibaly impressed on his home debut – where he opened the scoring against Spurs – but the club are clearly keen to draft in reinforcements to partner him.

The Blues have been chasing Leicester’s Wesley Fofana throughout the window and a deal now seems increasingly likely after the Frenchman was left out of Leicester’s squad for their home defeat to Southampton on Saturday.

On the assumption that the move goes through, the 21-year-old gets the nod in one of the centre-back berths.
