Even in the time that the new Chelsea owners have been in place in West London, there has been significant progress made in how they are operating.
The Blues are in the highest league position they have been in the entire time Todd Boehly and co have been at the helm, and a lot of the reason behind that is the manager they chose to take over from Mauricio Pochettino.
In just his first campaign as a Premier League boss, Enzo Maresca has his Chelsea side in second in the league, as well as top of the tree in the Conference League.
The quality of player signed in the transfer window has improved too, however some were left unhappy with the way they dealt with the departures of Conor Gallagher and Trevoh Chalobah.

Todd Boehly showing progress by negotiating with Josh Acheampong
Despite the fact that both had spent most of their life at the club after coming through the academy, it got to the point where they were frozen out of first team duties to try and force through their sales.
It was worrying that the same was about to happen to Josh Acheampong, after reports he was hesitant to sign a new contract with the club.
Enzo Maresca described Acheampong as ‘fantastic’ after he made a real impact on the Blues during the pre-season tour of the United States.
One of the most promising youngsters they have right now, it was no surprise some of the best clubs in Europe were keeping an eye on Acheampong’s situation.

However, it seems their ability to negotiate has improved, and it looks like they have been able to make an offer to Acheampong that he couldn’t refuse.
