Chelsea are set for an intriguing summer transfer window as the club enter another new era. Xabi Alonso has been tasked with transforming the team’s fortunes and will begin his work on July 1.
The west London side slumped to 10th in the Premier League, missing out on European football. While the campaign fell far short of expectations, the absence of European competition will give former Bayer Leverkusen and Real Madrid boss Alonso more time to get his methods across on the training pitch.
Chelsea have been remarkably active in the transfer market in recent years and could once more overhaul their squad. The new manager is already set to welcome forwards Geovany Quenda and Emmanuel Emegha after deals were agreed last year, and there will likely be other high-profile additions to come as the summer rolls on.
