In the last decade or so, Chelsea have spent quite a lot of money to challenge for the Premier League and European honours. Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich's initial motive was to rope in some of the best players and challenge for the domestic honours. Inevitably, they have spent a lot of money and have been linked with a number of top players every transfer window. Even after Roman Abramovich's era, Chelsea's new owner Todd Boehly has also opted for the same strategy of spending big and bringing in world class players to the London based club.
There are many top clubs in Premier League, but only handful of them have been more active than Chelsea, in the transfer windows for the past decade. Believe it or not, Chelsea Transfer News would be one of the most written headlines during transfer windows linking them with every young starlet around the world - given the history of the club with young players. The Blues had quite an eventful summer transfer window just like they used to have in the previous seasons. The appointment of English manager Graham Potter as their new manager after sacking Thomas Tuchel from the post has raised eyebrows. However, it wasn't a surprise for football fans as the Blues have a history of showing lack of patience in their managers.
Let's take a look at some of the recent Chelsea Transfer news which includes major signings and departures in the present and past seasons.
