Under Todd Boehly’s leadership, it’s likely that the Blues will keep spending more than any other team in history. There have been rumours that the team will buy five more important players this summer.
This season, Chelsea shocked the football world by spending more than £500 million on new players. This is more than any other club has ever spent on new players in a single season. Todd Boehly, who is also a co-owner, is likely to keep buying players when the next transfer window opens.
Last month, players like Mykhailo Mudryk, Benoit Badiashile, and Enzo Fernandez signed with Chelsea. This was part of a record-breaking January transfer window in which football teams from all over the world spent a total of £1.29 billion.
Graham Potter should have a better idea of what Chelsea needs to do to improve next year. This will help them close the gap between them and the Champions League spots as the rest of the season goes on. In order to close the gap, the team will have to make this important move.
The most attention seems to be on the midfielders who have been linked to a move to Stamford Bridge right now. Here are the players that the bookies think will join the Blues:

5.1 Moises Caicedo
The most intense days of the race to sign Caicedo were the last few days of January. The Ecuadorian said he wanted to leave social media after getting offers from Arsenal, but Brighton banned the player, which temporarily stopped his plans.
Declan Rice is the favourite at 7/1
The player, who came up through Chelsea’s youth academy, was also thought to be moving from the east side of the city to the west side in January, but there wasn’t much news on this front in the last weeks of December.
8/1: Neymar Jr.
Todd Boehly likes to put money into young players, so it will be interesting to see how Neymar fits into this Chelsea team. Todd Boehly’s goal is to invest in young players, so this may be the most surprising name on the list.
Even though the Brazilian is a good player, Chelsea would have to think about whether or not it would be worth it to sign him, since players like Mudryk need chances at the highest level. The Blues have been linked to the Brazilian in the past.

Jude Bellingham 16/1
Bellingham is now the most wanted player in the English football league, and it looks like teams from all over Europe want to hire him. It looks like Chelsea is one of the clubs.
In the next round of the Champions League, when Chelsea plays Borussia Dortmund, fans should have a great chance to watch the midfielder. Only time will tell if this makes Chelsea bid for the player along with Real Madrid and Liverpool.
James Maddison has odds of 25/1
There have been rumours that Chelsea would try to sign Maddison from Leicester City once he has proven himself at his current club. Maddison has shown that he is a strong member of his current team.
Before the World Cup, the 26-year-old attacker came back from an injury, which helped the Foxes. He has played in 15 Premier League games this season, during which he has scored eight goals and set up four others.
