How Chelsea could line up next season with Mudryk and Nkunku supporting Osimhen in new-look attack and Rice in midfield | The Sun
CHELSEA have now spent more than £375million since new owner Todd Boehly took over from Roman Abramovich eight months ago.
Raheem Sterling, Wesley Fofana, Marc Cucurella, Kalidou Koulibaly and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang were just some of the players brought in during the summer transfer window.
And Boehly has shown no signs of slowing down in the January market.
The Blues have already acquired Benoit Badiashile, David Datro Fofana, Andrey Santos and now Mykhailo Mudryk for a combined £116m.
Joao Felix has also arrived on a short-term loan deal from Atletico Madrid.
It comes at a time when Graham Potter's men are struggling on the pitch, currently sitting 10th in the Premier League table.

And Chelsea are expected to continue showing their spending power in the summer window.
They are set to welcome Christopher Nkunku from RB Leipzig in a deal worth £53m, with the Frenchman, 25, expected to occupy the No10 role at Stamford Bridge.
Mudryk, 22, will assume the left flank, with Sterling and Mason Mount battling it out for the right wing position.
Then up front, Chelsea may also be preparing for a new striker to enter the fray.

And the Blues are being linked with Napoli and Nigeria star Victor Osimhen.
The 24-year-old has netted 13 times in 17 games for the Serie A leaders so far this season – and 41 in 79 games since joining from Lille in 2020.
But it is not just in attack where fresh faces may appear in Potter's team.
