Chelsea have had a busy transfer window by adding high-profile names like Lukaku and Niguez to their squad for the new season. They have also let go of players like Tammy Abraham, Kurt Zouma, and Tino Livramento at the same time.
The Blues feel like a rejuvenated side ever since Tuchel took over as manager as they won the Champions League and UEFA Super Cup last season. The West London club will look to mount a challenge for the Premier League title this season and are in great shape to do so.
