Hello and welcome to football.london's blog covering all the latest Chelsea news and transfer gossip.
The Blues are back in action this weekend. The west Londoners will face Benfica at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Saturday evening in the Club World Cup round of 16.
While Enzo Maresca puts his players through their paces ahead of another difficult clash, he'll be hoping his higher-ups are working overtime to strengthen his squad. Chelsea enjoyed a fast start to the summer transfer window by confirming the arrivals of Mamadou Sarr and Dario Essugo, who had both signed long-term contracts earlier in the year.
Then, the west Londoners wrapped up a shrewd deal for Liam Delap, signing the 22-year-old striker from Ipswich Town for just £30m. Maresca has also added Andrey Santos to his squad, with Estevao Willian expected to follow at the end of the month.
Chelsea still need to get their hands on a left winger, a goalkeeper and some backup for Marc Cucurella. There's still a lot of work to be done, but the Blues have plenty of time.
So, with that being said, stay with us at football.london as we bring you all the latest Chelsea news and transfer gossip.
