The most expensive signing was Nkunku, who cost €37m plus bonuses. Just two summers earlier, the Blues had budgeted a €100m investment: €65m immediately to RB Leipzig to bring the striker to the Premier League, and another €35m if they won the Champions League in the following three years. In truth though he struggled to establish himself: 18 goals in 62 total matches were not considered enough. A move to Milan a-la-Pulisic followed, but his time has been bumpy so far.

"There's competition [for Nkunku]. If everyone is available, I have to make some choices. Nkunku has had some injuries, and he's changed teams. He needs to find consistency, and that's not easy with injuries. "He's capable of playing in different attacking positions, centrally, but also on the flank. He has volume, technical mastery. He's quite skilled in front of the goal."

Alejandro Garnacho has reportedly shown great interest in joining Chelsea, potentially participating in a swap deal with Christopher Nkunku, with both players seeking new opportunities.
