The issue of who Chelsea will sign during the forthcoming transfer window seems absurd in light of Todd Boehly's spending of more than £600 million over his first two transfer windows as the club's owner. Chelsea will undoubtedly go above and beyond to make up for a dismal season in which the Blues underperformed by bringing in a flurry of new arrivals, perhaps for a sizable sum of money as well. Although a new goalkeeper and striker are top priorities for next season, new owners Todd Boehly and Clearlake are prepared to approve yet another spending splurge. A central defender and another midfielder might potentially be their targets. Keeping all this in mind, let’s take a look at the players Chelsea could sign in the summer:
Victor Osimhen
Chelsea is in desperate need of a centre-forward this summer, as their dearth of goals in all competitions during the 2022–23 season is obvious. And by bringing in Victor Osimhen from Napoli, they might be able to resolve those problems. Napoli, meanwhile, won't take a summertime offer of less than £132 million. The Nigerian plays a significant role in the Italian team's push to win their first Scudetto since 1990.
Andre Onana
While maintaining their confidence in their ability to secure a deal for Mauricio Pochettino to take over as the club's permanent head coach, Chelsea is attempting to position themselves to win the summer transfer battle for Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana. Onana has been associated with several European teams, with Chelsea reportedly showing the most interest in the Cameroon international. After failing to reach a contract extension with the 31-year-old, who has lost his starting position to Kepa Arrizabalaga, Chelsea is poised to sell Edouard Mendy.
Josko Gvardiol
Josko Gvardiol is the best costly transfer that Chelsea has ever made. This summer, prominent European clubs like Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, and others may engage in a fierce bidding battle on the RB Leipzig centre-back that might cost up to £100 million. But because Chelsea has already faced RB Leipzig on several occasions, Thiago Silva's advice might help him take his game to the next level.
Romeo Lavia
Romeo Lavia, a forward for Southampton, is being sought after by Chelsea in the summer transfer window, according to Football Insider. Lavia and the Blues are in negotiations to bring him to West London this summer. However, given that his contract at St. Mary's extends through 2027, The London side will have to pay a reputed £45 million release clause to compel the Saints to sell.
Jonathan David
Jonathan David is a target for Chelsea, Manchester United, and Spurs in a £57 million trade. Jonathan David acknowledges that Chelsea's attention is "flattering," but the forward for Canada is waiting to see "what the future holds." David is expected to be enticed away from Lille in a lucrative transfer at some point, as Premier League suitors appear to be lined up to give him a chance at life in the English top division.
