Dewsbury-Hall signs, new striker – Chelsea’s four biggest summer transfer jobs

Chelsea are expected to continue to be busy in the summer transfer market, despite already signing three players. The Blues completed their first recruit after securing the services of Tosin Adarabioyo in a free transfer from Fulham, before a move for talented Brazilian winger Estevao Willian – who won’t join until 2025 – was confirmed.

Then on Saturday, Chelsea announced the arrival of Omari Kellyman from Aston Villa for £18m. The 18-year-old has signed a six-year deal at Stamford Bridge. The Blues are not expected to stop there, with a number of players linked with a move to west London as Enzo Maresca tries to further bolster his squad.




Meanwhile, on the outgoing front, Ian Maatsen has left the club to join Villa for a fee in the region of £37.5m and Lewis Hall has completed his permanent move to Newcastle. Thiago Silva has departed the club at the end of his contract to join Fluminense, while Hakim Ziyech has signed for Galatasaray.

Chelsea finished sixth last season but are hoping to build on that and kickstart a new era under Maresca, who joined from Leicester earlier this month. The Blues still need to do some more business to reshape the squad for the 2024/25 campaign. With that in mind, football.london has taken a look at four things owner Todd Bohely must do this summer to steer the club – at least – back into the Premier League top-four.

It’s evident that one of Chelsea’s biggest problems last season was finding the back of the net. The Blues would often create a bucket load of chances but fail to have that cutting edge in front of goal. Although they managed to score more frequently near the end of the season, a prolific marksman is someone they should target.

A club record move for Alexander Isak has been touted, with the Blues reportedly ready to pay in excess of the £115m they forked out to sign Moises Caicedo. It had even been reported Chelsea were discussing an extraordinary deal that could see Nicolas Jackson head to St James’ Park as part of a player-plus-cash deal.
