Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is now fully focused on strengthening his squad with doubts and concern over the club’s future now in the past.
The completion of a takeover by the Todd Boehly-led consortium not only brought an end to Roman Abramovich’s ownership, it also allowed Tuchel to move forwards with his plans in the transfer market this summer.
Outgoings have already started with Antonio Rudiger departing for Real Madrid and Andreas Christensen and Danny Drinkwater leaving the club as their contracts come to an end.
The likes of Marcos Alonso and Kepa Arrizabalaga have also been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge and negotiations over a loan deal to take Romelu Lukaku back to former club Inter Milan are ongoing.
But a whole host of eye-catching names have been linked with a move to Chelsea as Tuchel looks to help the club challenge for the Premier League title once again.
Here, LondonWorld takes a look at the nine players most likely to join the Blues over the summer months.
1. Denzel Dumfries (Inter) - 7/1
Manchester United and Chelsea are both targeting moves for Inter Milan’s Dumfries. The full-back registered five goals and four assists in Serie A last season and would bring power, pace and strength to either side. Photo: Getty Images
2. Neymar (PSG) - 7/1
Surprisingly short odds for the Brazilian superstar to end up at Stamford Bridge. This would be a shock move to say the least! Photo: Getty Image
3. Nathan Ake (Manchester City) - 5/1
There is no doubt Chelsea need to strengthen their defensive ranks this summer. Former Blues centre-back Nathan Ake could be one option after he was reportedly told he could leave Manchester City. Photo: Getty Images
4. Eden Hazard (Real Madrid) - 5/1
Another former Blue that has been linked with a return to Stamford Bridge. Hazard has hardly set La Liga alight since his move to Real Madrid but it would still be a surprise to see him return to Chelsea this summer. Photo: Getty Images
