If spending big in the transfer market was a true determinant of form, Chelsea will currently be cruising in the Premier league. The Blues are enjoying an extraordinary first transfer window under their new era with American billionaire Todd Boehly following the acquisition Joao Felix on loan from Atletico Madrid. According to ESPN, the Blues have now splashed over £400 million since the start of the season, Christopher Nkunu’s reported transfer fee who is set to join the club in the summer.
The Blues have garnered a reputation for forking out big fees on transfers since their takeover by Roman Abramovich in 2003, and they broke their own record by some margin in 2020 when Frank Lampard oversaw a £220m spend on the likes of Kai Havertz, Timo Werner and Edouard Mendy. With over £400 million now spent, this is the biggest outlay from any club in the history of football.
