A remarkable transfer window is now over. Remarkable in many ways, but not least some of the figures we saw players go for this summer. Chelsea more than played their part.
In total, the Blues spent more than £280million on incomings over the course of the summer. They were even busier on the outgoing front, collecting, by football.london's calculations, more than £460m in total sales - including loan fees.
Quite the summer. football.london has rounded up everyone who signed and departed Chelsea across the course of the recently-concluded transfer window.

Disclaimer: We're still waiting on confirmation of deals for Landon Emenalo (loan to Celtic) and Shim Mheuka (loan to Celtic). But both are expected to be done and will be updated in due course.
Confirmed Chelsea signings
Valentin Barco
Barco signed a seven-year contract at Stamford Bridge this summer after impressing for sister side Strasbourg last season. The fee, however, is undisclosed.
Pep Chavarria
After a drawn out process, Chavarria eventually arrived at Chelsea in August. The Blues finally reached a £16.2m, plus add-ons, agreement with Rayo Vallecano for the Spaniard's services.

Jordan Henderson
The Blues wanted some much-needed experience within their ranks and decided to move for Henderson. The 36-year-old had a gentleman's agreement with Brentford to terminate his contract and was then able to sign for Chelsea on a free transfer.
Danny Welbeck
Another experienced option added to Alonso's squad. The 35-year-old striker arrived from Brighton for an undisclosed fee, although sources insist it was a minimal amount paid.
Maxence Lacroix
Chelsea's No.1 centre-back target this summer. It took its time to strike a deal with Crystal Palace but eventually Lacroix arrived for £52m in total.
Emiliano Martinez
The Argentine's move to Stamford Bridge came out of the blue, really. After a poor showing from Robert Sanchez away at Fulham last week, Chelsea were offered the chance to sign Martinez from Aston Villa. The Blues quickly struck a £7.5m deal with their Premier League rivals.

Marco Palestra
The Italy international was actually Alonso's first official signing (not including pre-agreed deals struck before the Spaniard's Chelsea career started) as Blues manager. Palestra arrived for a total package worth £47m from Atalanta.
Geovany Quenda
One of the pre-agreed deals was Quenda from Sporting CP. Sources say Chelsea agreed on a fee around £40m for the Portuguese winger.
Morgan Rogers
The big one. Again, one that was kind of out of the blue given it seemed Arsenal were nailed on to sign Rogers. Chelsea paid Aston Villa a club-record £117m for the England international.
Dastan Satpayev
Another pre-agreed deal. Satpayev joined Chelsea from Shakhtar Donetsk for a £3.4m package, according to club sources.

Emmanuel Emegha
And the final incoming - another pre-agreed deal. Emegha arrived from sister side Strasbourg for an undisclosed fee and signed a long-term contract at Stamford Bridge.
Confirmed Chelsea departures
Ishe Samuels-Smith
After a largely unsuccessful loan spell with Swansea City last season, Samuels-Smith will be hoping for better with Notts County this term.
Dastan Satpayev
Satpayev signed a long-term deal at Stamford Bridge before heading to Championship side Burnley on a loan deal for the remainder of the season. Chelsea have high hopes for the 18-year-old attacker.
Axel Disasi
The Frenchman signed a loan deal with Crystal Palace for the remainder of the season. The Eagles, however, do not have an option, or obligation, to make the deal permanent at the end of his contract.

Benoit Badiashile
Badiashile was deemed surplus to requirements under Alonso this season and Chelsea were open to selling the defender. They instead settled for a loan to Napoli, who have paid the Blues a £2.5m fee for the deal and have a £23m option to buy included.
Reggie Walsh
After impressing Alonso in pre-season, Chelsea made the decision to loan Walsh to Wigan Athletic for the remainder of the campaign.
Filip Jorgensen
With Mike Penders sticking around for the season, Jorgensen decided he wanted to leave Chelsea in a bid for regular first-team football. The Dane actually left the club's pre-season tour early in order to push through a loan to Strasbourg.
Ryan Kavuma-McQueen
Portsmouth were keen to give Kavuma-McQueen a chance in senior football and the highly-rated Chelsea winger has started life at Fratton Park with a bang.

Dario Essugo
Chelsea felt Essugo could do with regular minutes - that he was unlikely to get at Stamford Bridge - elsewhere. Strasbourg signed the Portuguese midfielder on loan late on deadline day.
Trevoh Chalobah
Chalobah moved to Como after the Italian club paid Chelsea £25m as a fixed fee with a potential £5m later down the line in add-ons.
Alejandro Garnacho
The Argentine moved to Villa Park on loan towards the end of July with Aston Villa having a £42.5m obligation to buy. The conditions that will trigger the obligation are understood to be straightforward.
Jesse Derry
Derry is really highly thought of at Stamford Bridge, with Chelsea higher-ups keen to tie the 19-year-old to a long-term contract extension before sending him to Sporting CP on loan.

Genesis Antwi
Antwi will be hoping for some regular first-team football at Chelsea's sister club Strasbourg on loan for the remainder of the season.
Max Merrick
The young Chelsea goalkeeper is currently on loan at National League side Hartlepool United for the remainder of the 2026/27 season.
Harrison Murray-Campbell
Murray-Campbell is on loan with Belgian side KV Kortrijk for the season. The defender signed a new contract at Chelsea last summer.
Ollie Harrison
After penning a new deal at Stamford Bridge until 2029, Harrison was then sent out on loan to AFC Wimbledon for the campaign.
Hudson Sands
Like Harrison, Sands signed on fresh terms at Chelsea and was then sent out on loan. The academy goalkeeper is spending the season with Dulwich Hamlet.
Kaiden Wilson
Wilson is spending the campaign with Rochdale after signing a new contract at Chelsea back in late-January.
Marc Cucurella
This was a big one. Way back in June, Cucurella signed for Real Madrid. Los Blancos paid Chelsea £47.5m as a fixed fee and could splash out a further £4.3m in add-ons - a £51.8m total package, potentially.

Tyrique George
The Cobham graduate enjoyed his loan at Everton in the second half of last season and after hearing about their interest in a permanent deal, he returned to the Hill Dickinson Stadium. The Toffees paid Chelsea a straight-up fee of £18m and the deal could rise to £24m altogether if add-ons are triggered.
Jimmy-Jay Morgan
Morgan signed for West Bromwich Albion earlier this summer on a permanent basis. The fee was believed to be around £4m, with Chelsea inserting a substantial sell-on clause.
Andrey Santos
This surprised a few at the time but Chelsea got a decent fee for Santos, with Manchester United paying £48m as a fixed fee with a potential £2m in add-ons bringing the total package to £50m.
Mamadou Sarr
With Alonso trimming down his centre-back options, Sarr was sent to Real Sociedad on a season-long loan deal last week.
Omari Kellyman
Kellyman joined Strasbourg on a permanent basis but Chelsea have inserted a buyback clause for the former Aston Villa attacker.
Liam Delap
Despite his struggles last season, Chelsea managed to secure a £50m total package for the sale of Delap to Nottingham Forest.
Nicolas Jackson
Jackson was also deemed surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge. Aston Villa splashed out a whopping £65m in total for the Senegal international, who was keen to reunite with Unai Emery.

David Datro Fofana
The Ivorian was an outcast at Chelsea and his nightmare at the club ended with a permanent move to Servette. The Swiss club agreed on a total package believed to be worth around £3m.
Marc Guiu
Guiu joined RB Leipzig on a permanent deal, with the German club paying Chelsea £14.6m, including add-ons, for the Spanish striker.
Dujuan Richards
Late on deadline day, Richards moved to League One side AFC Wimbledon for the rest of the season.
Caleb Wiley
Wiley moved to Preston North End on loan last week. The 21-year-old American is now in his third successive loan spell since signing for Chelsea in 2024.
Deivid Washington
Washington completed a permanent move to Chelsea's sister club Strasbourg. The 21-year-old joined the Blues in 2023 from Santos and featured three times for the senior side. The fee is undisclosed.
Robert Sanchez
The Chelsea goalkeeper joined Como on loan late on deadline day following the arrival of new No.1 Martinez (see above).

Honest Anahor
Not for this summer, but Chelsea have signed Ahanor on a pre-agreed deal with the teenage defender set to arrive in 2027. Atalanta have loaned him to Crystal Palace for this season after Chelsea paid them £40m for the 18-year-old.
Enzo Fernandez
The big one; the one that took all summer. Chelsea finally agreed a £125m - fixed fee - deal with Manchester City on deadline day for Fernandez to move to the Etihad Stadium.
Mykhailo Mudryk
In the final hour of deadline day, Tottenham confirmed the loan signing of Mudryk. Spurs, sources say, have an option to buy the Ukrainian for £75m next summer.
Tosin Adarabioyo
Tosin was announced right on 11pm on deadline day with the defender signing for Spurs for a fee believed to be around £7.5m.
