Todd Boehly pledges £200m: 5 signings Chelsea NEED this summer

With a degree of clarity now ascertained regarding Chelsea’s ownership debacle, we take you through five signings that could help Thomas Tuchel bridge the gap between his side and the title race.

Soon to be announced Chelsea owner, Todd Boehly, is understood to be ready to offer Thomas Tuchel a whopping £200m budget this summer.

The vote of confidence comes at a crucial time for both Thomas Tuchel and the football club collectively with a resolve set to be found after months of confusion due to the lack of clarity around their ownership.

A mass exodus is also on the cards, with defenders Antonio Rudiger, Cezar Azpilicueta and Andreas Christensen among those nearing their respective exit, forcing the West London club into a rebuild of sorts.

Chelsea have been clamouring to sign a new defender while Roman Abramovich was still at the helm and the eight-player shortlist mentioned recently (solely for this position) proves this.

News of the transfer budget allows Tuchel and onlookers alike to map out the club’s potential movements in the summer window. Let’s take a look at five options we believe are of the profile needed at Stamford Bridge.
