How many players have Chelsea signed under Todd Boehly?
Since Boehly took over Chelsea, the Blues have signed a total of 35 players on permanent contracts.
These range from new additions to the first team to youngsters with potential.
Almost all of them have signed long-term contracts, and it would be fair to say that not many of them have worked out.
Below are some of the highlights.
First
Boehly and Clearlake Capital's first acquisition was Raheem Sterling from Manchester City for £47.5m.
On paper, he looked like a great addition to Tuchel's squad, given that the England international was still at the peak of his powers but had lost his way at City.
However, it would be fair to say that the winger has failed to live up to expectations and may no longer even be in the starting XI.
It has shown glimpses of what it is capable of, but not enough to justify the price.

The most expensive
If all the extras in the deal are included, Moisés Caicedo is Chelsea's most expensive signing in the last year. Bóehlyworth £115m.
This is a current British record transfer fee and is unlikely to be surpassed for some time.
Brighton signed Caicedo for around £4m, so they made a massive profit on the midfielder.
Since joining Chelsea, he has shown glimpses of his ability, but there is still much more to come.

Better
There is no doubt that the best signing of the Boehly era at Chelsea has been Cole Palmer.
The Blues spent £40m on the attacking midfielder, and he contributed 40 goals in his first year at Stamford Bridge.
Manchester City rarely regret selling many players, but they must look at Palmer and think what might have been.
To reward his excellent form, the Blues have offered Palmer a new contract, which expires in 2033.

There is room for improvement
There are plenty of contenders here, but given the Blues spent almost £100m on him, Mykhailo Mudryk should do more.
For a top professional, he still seems very inexperienced, although he does have some odd moments of brilliance.
But he can come and go from games and rarely completes a consistent 90 minutes, with excellent pieces of skill often mixed with some comical decisions.
The good thing for Mudryk is that he is still very young and has time to prove himself.
