There has been a lot of talk about Chelsea’s transfer strategy this season amid the team’s struggles.
Since being taken over by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, the club have prioritised signing players under the age of 25.
However, that could change this summer after a disastrous Premier League campaign.
Chelsea are reportedly set to tweak their transfer strategy and sign more experienced players!

Chelsea ready to make exception for Harry Kane
Bayern Munich and England striker Harry Kane turns 33 in July, but that does not appear to be putting Chelsea off.
According to TEAMtalk, the Blues would be willing to bend their transfer policy for the former Tottenham Hotspur man, who cost Bayern £86m.
The same outlet claims that Chelsea are one side who are being kept informed on Kane’s situation at the Allianz Arena.

Kane’s contract expires next year, giving English clubs hope of Bayern potentially selling him this summer.
Bayern will be determined to extend the forward’s current deal, though, after another extraordinary season in Germany. Kane scored against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday, taking his goal tally to 55 goals in 48 games.
When Kane was in England, he hated playing against John Terry, an admission the 32-year-old made back in December.
Chelsea have zero chance of landing Harry Kane
Even if Chelsea are willing to tweak their transfer strategy a bit for Kane, there is no way the Three Lions star will be playing at Stamford Bridge next season.
There are a couple of reasons why Kane will not want to join Chelsea this summer, which includes his affinity for the Blues’ fierce rivals Tottenham.
The next reason is Chelsea’s standing in football right now. This term, they showed that they cannot compete in the Champions League and will not even be in the competition in the next campaign.
Chelsea are not capable of challenging for the Premier League title either. Ultimately, a move from Bayern to Chelsea would be a huge step down for Kane, who seems more likely to sign a new contract with his current employers than move back to England.
