Chelsea have an astonishing number of attackers on the books ahead of the 2025-26 season
Chelsea’s acquisition of forwards continues unabated. Since the takeover by the Clearlake Capital consortium in the summer of 2022 they have permanently signed 19 wingers, strikers and attacking midfielders. In the coming days that number should grow to a round 20, Borussia Dortmund’s Jamie Gittens expected to follow Joao Pedro, who on Wednesday signed from Brighton and Hove Albion in a $69 million deal, arriving to feature in the closing stages of the Club World Cup.
