They have signed Marc Cucurella, Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly, Carney Chukwuemeka, Cesare Casadei and Gabriel Slonina for a combined sum of over €200 million. The Blues are expected to bolster their ranks further before the window closes on September 1. They are currently focused on bringing in a new centre-back but signing a new forward is also on the agenda. Thomas Tuchel's side have had two bids of up to €53 million turned down by Everton for Anthony Gordon. Despite the Toffees holding firm, Chelsea are confident of striking a deal for the 21-year-old this week, according to The Times.
