Whilst reinforcements continue to arrive, Chelsea could now lose one of their most promising players amid reports that he wants to leave Stamford Bridge this summer.
Jorrel Hato "very excited" to be at Chelsea
The latest to arrive at Stamford Bridge is Jorrel Hato. The former Ajax defender has been on the Blues' radar for some time and has now finally completed a move worth around £35.5m. Becoming the 49th player to arrive since Todd Boehly's takeover of the London club, Chelsea have once again spent big this summer.
Speaking for the first time after putting pen to paper, the 19-year-old said: "I'm very excited, I'm so happy to be here. I thought a lot about my future and wanted to take the next step in my career. Chelsea is the best place for me to do that so I'm very happy."
He then went on to say: "I was really thinking about my future and this is what I wanted. I think I will be a good fit for the way Chelsea are playing, so I was sure about taking my step to Chelsea.
"For sure it was a big decision. I played seven years at Ajax and for me it was home – the people, the players, the coaches, the culture. So it was not easy to leave, but my feeling was that at this moment I needed to make a step to the biggest club in the biggest competitions, and for me this was the right decision at the right time."
As one impressive young player arrives, however, another could be set to depart. As ever, the Chelsea dressing room has become busier this summer and that has left one player questioning his immediate future.
Tyrique George "wants to leave" Chelsea
According to Fabrizio Romano, Tyrique George now "wants to leave" Chelsea amid interest from RB Leipzig and Borussia Monchengladbach, who could even land a permanent deal for his signature this summer.
George's exit would certainly split opinion whilst Chelsea continue to sign reinforcements from elsewhere around European football. As talents continue to arrive, it's worth pointing out that their own academy prospects could be the ones to miss out.
Enzo Maresca is also well aware of the talent that he has on his hands in George. The Chelsea boss, full of praise for the 19-year-old winger following his display against Manchester United, told reporters last season: "Very good. Very good. Brave. He was a threat in behind. Not easy for him because on the other side you have Maguire, you have Lindelof, you have Shaw.

“He was fighting against important defenders. But again, we tried to find a solution with a player from the academy. Overall I think also he had the penalty moment, so he works quite good.”
