Todd Boehly's transfer strategy is obvious if he wants Chelsea to win Premier League

Todd Boehly and the rest of Chelsea's new owners have some big decisions to make in the coming days, weeks and months.

But the biggest of them all will be what kind of club they want to be. Do they want to be champions of England on a regular basis as they were when John Terry, Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba and Co ruled the roost?

Or are they happy to just be better than Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester United, populating third or fourth every year just to ensure Champions League qualification? If it’s the latter then they can continue as they have been doing in the last three seasons under Roman Abramovich.

But if it’s the former then they need to get back the spite they had when, under Jose Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti, and most recently Antonio Conte, they were winning the title. If I was Boehly, that’s what I’d want and what better way to make a statement than an aggressive move to take Harry Kane from Tottenham this summer?

Since Terry, Lampard and the rest of them left, Chelsea have become a team of lovely boys - think Mason Mount and Reece James. But if you wanted to set the tone that you’re going to start rubbing people up the wrong way again then why not get Romelu Lukaku out and put the £60million or £70m you’d get for him towards a monster move for the England captain?

Not only would Boehly and Thomas Tuchel be strengthening Chelsea, they’d be weakening Spurs and that would fire off a major message. I’d also have a look at Harry Maguire as well given the Blues need to reshape their defence.

I’ve talked regularly about players rediscovering their form and confidence with England after a blip at club level, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the Three Lions made the semi-finals or final, or even won the World
