Analyzing the transfer business of the Premier League's top 6 teams

#4 Chelsea

Chelsea now have a Plan B with Giroud

Key In(s):

Ross Barkley (Everton, £15m); Emerson Palmieri (Roma, £17.6m); Olivier Giroud (Arsenal, £18m)

Key Out(s):

Michy Batshuayi (Borussia Dortmund, loan)

One could argue that seeing Chelsea being linked with the likes of Andy Carroll and Peter Crouch was the craziest story of the window.

Eventually, after the Edin Dzeko move failed, they ended up with Olivier Giroud, who will provide the Blues with a different option up front.

They also signed left-back Emerson Palmieri from Roma on deadline day to provide cover for Marcos Alonso, to add to their somewhat controversial capture of Ross Barkley.

Michy Batshuayi was loaned out to Borussia Dortmund, but their business this window has improved their squad depth.
