Confirmed : Three players from English premier league Chelsea new owner wants to complete their signing this week ,names confirmed ,as this will be his first three new signings.
Incoming Chelsea owner Todd Boehly
will sanction 'heavy investment' in the
playing squad this summer when his
takeover goes through, according to reports.
The American billionaire was officially
confirmed as the successor to Roman
Abrahamovic on Saturday and was in
the stands to watch Chelsea draw 2-2
with Wolves, and he is now mapping
out his transfer plans for when he is
rubber-stamped as the club's next owner.
Boehly - who also owns the LA Dogers
baseball team - hopes to make 'heavy
investment' this summer to bolster Chelsea's
transfer business, as reported by the
Evening Standard, amid fears the club
have been left behind after months of
crippling sanctions.
Having seen his side struggle against Bruno Lage's men, he will be aware of the importance to bolster the squad to ensure they remain competitive with Man City and Liverpool next season - after the Blues fell away from the title race.
And with 'serious concerns' that the club have been playing 'catch-up' after being prevented from signing new players amid their financial restriction in recent months, that desire to strengthen has only increased, the report says.
The Government moved to sanction Abramovich in March amid his ties to Russian president Vladimir Putin - forcing him to sell the club quickly to secure its future.
But the sanctions left Chelsea unable
to agree new contracts, leaving themselves
in a vulnerable position with a number
of players' deals close to expiring. They
were also not permitted to sell tickets
or merchandise, and their away travel
budget was capped too.
Now the club's future seems on a
more stable footing with Boehly in place
to take over, and he is ready to put his
money where his mouth is and give
Tuchel the reinforcements he needs,
the report goes on.
Boehly has agreed a £4.25billion deal
to buy the club, which includes investment
in Stamford Bridge and the club's academy.
Sportsmail reported this week that one
of Boehly's main priorities was to agree
contract extensions with Mason Mount
and Reece James.
The club have already lost Andreas
Christensen and Antonio Rudiger
to free transfers and will need to address
their back line.
A new forward may also be on the agenda
, with Romelu Lukaku's form uncertain.
The Belgian forward scored twice against
Wolves this weekend but has not
hit the heights expected of.
Asked whether Lukaku had turned the
corner with his brace, Tuchel said: '
Yeah but guys, OK, good performance
but this is not the moment to talk about
individual performances and praise
individual players.
'We do this as a team and we lost points
, crucial points. This is not the moment
to praise individuals.'
