Senior figures at Chelsea like Marina Granovskaia and Petr Cech departed.Todd Boehly, the new co-owner, announced himself as the interim sporting director and took charge of transfers along with other responsibilities. Head coach Thomas Tuchel also stepped up to provide wisdom by identifying targets in the transfer market.So far, the Blues have roped in two brilliant players in Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly. However, given the state of the squad, they will need a few more signings to challenge for silverware this season. Tuchel also lost centre-backs Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen on free transfers this summer. Romelu Lukaku, too, left for Inter Milan on a year-long loan.With the team yet to be settled, the Blues looked scrappy in their pre-season performances. They suffered a humiliating 4-0 loss to Arsenal in the United States of America last week.The Blues still have a month to go before the window ends but will need to act swiftly if they are to start the league season with an established team.
