Chelsea are set for yet another busy summer transfer window. Todd Boehly has spent more than £600million in the last two transfer windows and is preparing to back new manager Mauricio Pochettino with new signings.
The Argentine wants to sign a new goalkeeper, central midfielder and striker, football.london understands - with further additions dependent on which players leave the club. football.london reported last year that Christopher Nkunku had signed a pre-contract agreement to join the Blues this summer after another impressive season with RB Leipzig.
Chelsea have already been linked with shock moves for the likes of Sadio Mane, Neymar, Victor Osimhen and Harry Kane this summer. The west Londoners could look to reignite their interest in Brighton star Moises Caicedo and West Ham captain Declan Rice with the futures of N'Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic and Conor Gallagher all uncertain.

Chelsea could sell as many as 10 players this summer as Boehly prepares to trim down the squad at Stamford Bridge. A few key additions to improve the quality of the team's spine could help the team return towards the top of the Premier League table in Pochettino's first season in charge.
According to Betfair, Chelsea are tipped to sign the following players in the summer transfer window:
Manuel Ugarte 8/11
Sadio Mane 13/8
Dusan Vlahovic 7/2
Victor Osimhen 4/1
Moises Caicedo 5/1
Declan Rice 6/1
Harry Kane 7/1
Neymar 8/1
Evan Ferguson 8/1
James Maddison 10/1
Alexis Mac Allister 12/1
James Maddison could leave Leicester after the Foxes were relegated from the Premier League as he enters the final 12 months of his contract. Alexis Mac Allister is edging closer to a move to Liverpool with Chelsea having cooled their interest in the Brighton playmaker, football.london understands.
The Blues are pushing to sign Manuel Ugarte from Sporting CP with the 22-year-old midfielder reportedly favouring a move to England over Paris Saint-Germain. The Uruguayan midfielder has a £52million release clause in his contract and Pochettino has given Chelsea the green light to pursue a deal for the Sporting star.
Evan Ferguson has enjoyed a breakout season under Roberto De Zerbi and could be poached by a top club this summer with Brighton set to be raided again this summer. Harry Kane's future at Tottenham remains uncertain and a reunion with Pochettino at Chelsea could be the shock story of the summer.
