Chelsea have been busy in summer and winter transfer windows since Todd Boehly’s takeover in 2022, completing their 50th new signing of the period with Jorrel Hato’s arrival<\/h2>\n

To say Chelsea have been active in the transfer market since Todd Boehly’s takeover would be an understatement. In a little over three years with the American at the helm, the Blues have now signed some 50 senior players.<\/p>\n
By way of contrast, between the 2016-17 title win and the 2022 takeover, Chelsea signed fewer than 30 players. Even taking out the year’s transfer ban served by the club, that’s barely half as many players over one extra transfer window.<\/p>\n
Dutch defender Jorrel Hato became number 50 this summer if we look at senior signings – both those brought to the club permanently and those arriving for a loan fee. And yes, before you ask, that total includes Joao Felix twice – once for his 2022-23 loan and once for the permanent move in 2024-25, though neither could be called a success.<\/p>\n
We’ve decided to take a look at where those 50 are now. The breakdown, for those wondering, is 17 new faces in Boehly’s first season, 12 in 2023-24, 13 in 2024-25 and eight (so far) this summer – Dario Essugo, Liam Delap, Mamadou Sarr, Kendry Paez, Joao Pedro, Jamie Gittens, Estevao Willian and Hato.<\/p>\n
For clarity’s sake, Chelsea have also offloaded a significant number of players over the same period, though the \u00a3645.5million recouped (via Transfermarkt) is some way shy of the \u00a31.44bn spent – and that’s before the near-\u00a353m going towards Denner and Geovany Quenda next summer. Six of this summer’s eight are still at Stamford Bridge – the exceptions being Sarr and Paez joining Strasbourg on loan – but here’s what’s happened to the rest.<\/p>\n

Raheem Sterling<\/h3>\n
The first senior signing of the Boehly era, Sterling did at least contribute some goals under a range of managers. Enzo Maresca deemed him surplus to requirements, though, and a dismal year on loan at Arsenal is unlikely to convince many to take a chance this summer on a player whose hefty Chelsea contract still has two years to run.<\/p>\n
Kalidou Koulibaly<\/h3>\n
The former Napoli star left just before the Italian club ended their long wait for a Scudetto, and only managed a year in West London. Chelsea took a hit on their \u00a333m outlay to send him to Al-Hilal, where he still plays today.<\/p>\n
\n

Gaga Slonina<\/h3>\n
Firmly in the ‘one for the future’ pile, American goalkeeper Slonina has been sent out on loan three times without making his senior Chelsea bow. The club have signed multiple other keepers since, raising questions over whether he’ll fulfil that promise elsewhere.<\/p>\n
Carney Chukwuemeka<\/h3>\n
Signed off the back of a breakthrough Aston Villa season and an impressive summer with England’s Under-19s, Chukwuemeka has 32 Chelsea appearances to his name and one Premier League goal. He ended last season on loan at Dortmund, though, and it would be a surprise to see him add to his 23 league outings for his parent club any time soon.<\/p>\n
Marc Cucurella<\/h3>\n
\n
\n<\/figure><\/span>Marc Cucurella is firmly part of the furniture at Chelsea<\/span>(Image: Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Cucurella’s \u00a360m move from Brighton was questioned, with the Spaniard struggling in his first two seasons. He found his form last term, though, and has a place in Enzo Maresca’s system.<\/p>\n
Cesare Casadei<\/h3>\n
Casadei was courted for a while before arriving in 2022 but struggled to show much in the way of Premier League quality. The former Inter Milan prospect returned to Italy in February, joining Torino.<\/p>\n
Wesley Fofana<\/h3>\n
Big-money signing Fofana has been plagued by injury over the last three years. The \u00a375m centre-back impressed at the start of last season, but further setbacks mean he’s managed just 34 appearances in all competitions for the club.<\/p>\n
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang<\/h3>\n
\n
\n<\/figure><\/span>Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang managed just one league goal for the Blues<\/span>(Image: AP)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Signed by Thomas Tuchel just days before the manager’s dismissal, Aubameyang made a quick exit in the very next summer. He has had a better time of things with Marseille and Al-Qadsiah, and returned to the former for a second stint in July.<\/p>\n
Denis Zakaria<\/h3>\n
Swiss midfielder Zakaria didn’t make much of an impact in a season-long move from Juventus. He left Juve for Monaco in the summer of 2023, and has been more successful in Ligue 1.<\/p>\n
Benoit Badiashile<\/h3>\n
Signed in January 2023 with Wesley Fofana out injured, Badiashile has never fully established himself as a first choice at the back. The \u00a335m man was a regular in last season’s Conference League run, but a lack of league minutes suggests he may well leave this summer.<\/p>\n
David Datro Fofana<\/h3>\n
\n
\n<\/figure><\/span>David Datro Fofana during a rare Chelsea appearance<\/span>(Image: Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
A strange signing from the get-go, former Molde striker Fofana was never given a fair shot at Chelsea. He has been sent out on three loans in the last two seasons, most recently at Goztepe in Turkey, and his future is uncertain.<\/p>\n
Andrey Santos<\/h3>\n
Brazilian midfielder Andrey Santos has taken the long way round but could soon get his first Premier League minutes for Chelsea. He struggled on loan at Nottingham Forest but thrived with Strasbourg, and finally made his Chelsea debut in the Club World Cup.<\/p>\n
Mykhailo Mudryk<\/h3>\n
Mudryk hasn’t played for Chelsea since the end of 2024, having struggled to live up to his hefty price tag, and in June received an FA charge over alleged anti-doping violations. The winger denied knowingly breaking any rules, but could face a lengthy ban if the charge is upheld<\/p>\n
Noni Madueke<\/h3>\n
\n
\n<\/figure><\/span>Noni Madueke has since left Chelsea for Arsenal<\/span>(Image: Arsenal FC via Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
One of the more successful arrivals, Madueke joined from PSV Eindhoven in 2023 and already has a Premier League hat-trick to his name. With Chelsea keen to raise funds this summer, though, a \u00a348m Arsenal bid felt too good to turn down.<\/p>\n
Malo Gusto<\/h3>\n
French full-back Gusto has blown hot and cold since joining from Lyon, but there have been enough positive moments. What’s more, his availability has proved more than useful against the backdrop of Reece James’ injury struggles.<\/p>\n
Enzo Fernandez<\/h3>\n
Some will argue Chelsea overpaid for Enzo Fernandez, but he has at least established himself in the Blues’ first team. The \u00a3107m man played his 100th game for the club last season, and scored a big goal in the Conference League final win.<\/p>\n
Joao Felix<\/h3>\n
\n
\n<\/figure><\/span>Joao Felix had two difficult Chelsea spells<\/span>(Image: Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Joao Felix’s loan spell under Graham Potter was a frustrating one amid flashes of quality. His permanent move more than a year later was… well he’s at Al-Nassr now, so make of that what you will.<\/p>\n
Nicolas Jackson<\/h3>\n
Jackson was signed with half an eye on the future, only to be thrust into the role of starting striker. He hasn’t done what you might expect of a senior No.9, and Chelsea are now ready to listen to offers after adding two new strikers this summer.<\/p>\n
Christopher Nkunku<\/h3>\n
Nkunku’s injury woes were a factor in Jackson’s added minutes. The Frenchman has never been able to get back to his pre-injury best, and could well be playing his football elsewhere in the coming season.<\/p>\n
Diego Moreira<\/h3>\n
A real blink-and-you’d-miss-it one, here. Portuguese youngster Moreira played just once for Chelsea before joining Lyon on loan, and then made a permanent move to Strasbourg last summer.<\/p>\n
Angelo Gabriel<\/h3>\n
\n
\n<\/figure><\/span>Chelsea fans never got a real chance to watch Angelo Gabriel<\/span>(Image: AFP via Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Brazilian midfielder Angelo immediately went on loan to Strasbourg, and his form there prompted Al-Nassr to offer around \u00a320m. That was enough for Chelsea to sanction a sale, sending him on his way at a profit but without a first team appearance.<\/p>\n
Lesley Ugochukwu<\/h3>\n
After a handful of games under Mauricio Pochettino, Chelsea decided Ugochukwu could do with more minutes out on loan. He played 26 league games for relegated Southampton last term, scoring once, and is back in West London for now.<\/p>\n
Axel Disasi<\/h3>\n
An option at centre-back or right-back, Disasi got plenty of minutes under Pochettino. It was a different story under Maresca, though, with the Frenchman finishing last season on loan at Aston Villa and now facing uncertainty.<\/p>\n
Robert Sanchez<\/h3>\n
\n
\n<\/figure><\/span>Robert Sanchez celebrating at the Club World Cup final<\/span>(Image: Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Sanchez hasn’t always convinced at Chelsea but has the backing of his manager. The Spanish international has so far fought off competition from Djordje Petrovic and Filip Jorgensen to establish himself as the Blues’ No. 1.<\/p>\n
Moises Caicedo<\/h3>\n
Chelsea won the race for Caicedo, who joined in a Premier League record move from Brighton. He took a bit of time to kick into gear, but was one of their players of the season last term.<\/p>\n
Romeo Lavia<\/h3>\n
An injury-hit first season left some wondering what might have been with the Belgian midfielder. He managed more minutes last term, but this looks like a big 12 months for him.<\/p>\n
Deivid Washingon<\/h3>\n
The former Santos prospect has barely featured for Chelsea’s senior side, but scored a few for the Under-21s. Now 20 years old, he’s back on loan at Santos until the end of 2025.<\/p>\n
Djordje Petrovic<\/h3>\n
\n
\n<\/figure><\/span>Djordje Petrovic has left Chelsea for Bournemouth<\/span>(Image: AFC Bournemouth via Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Serbian keeper Petrovic threatened to displace keeper Sanchez towards the end of the 2023-24 season, but spent last season on loan at Strasbourg. He’s now completed a permanent exit, replacing former Chelsea loanee Kepa at Bournemouth.<\/p>\n
Cole Palmer<\/h3>\n
Some eyebrows were raised when Chelsea paid big money to sign Palmer from Manchester City but the doubters were soon quiet. A return of 43 goals in two seasons will do that.<\/p>\n
Omari Kellyman<\/h3>\n
Kellyman joined from Aston Villa in the summer of 2024, with Ian Maatsen going the other way. However, injuries have left the England youth international unable to show what he can do.<\/p>\n
Tosin Adarabioyo<\/h3>\n
\n
\n<\/figure><\/span>Tosin cekebrating Chelsea’s Club World Cup win<\/span>(Image: Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
A shrewd pick-up from neighbours Fulham, Tosin racked up 22 league appearances last season. The question now is whether the arrival of new signing Hato ends up limiting his minutes<\/p>\n
Marc Guiu<\/h3>\n
Spanish striker Guiu felt like an opportunistic pick-up from Barcelona, and he was never signed to be a starting striker. With Liam Delap and Joao Pedro arriving this summer, Guiu looks likely to leave either on loan or permanently.<\/p>\n
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall<\/h3>\n
Dewsbury-Hall followed Maresca from Leicester but never looked like the right fit. Chelsea are likely to make a loss on the \u00a330m midfielder if he leaves this summer.<\/p>\n
Renato Veiga<\/h3>\n
Former Basel man Veiga only managed half a season before leaving on loan. There had been talk of Juventus making the move permanent, but that chatter isn’t as loud at the moment and the versatile Portuguese faces an uncertain future.<\/p>\n
Caleb Wiley<\/h3>\n
\n
\n<\/figure><\/span>Caleb Wiley during his first Watford loan<\/span>(Image: CameraSport via Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Young American defender Wiley has spent time on loan at Strasbourg and Watford since joining from MLS side Atlanta United. He recently completed a second Watford loan, and will spend the upcoming season at Vicarage Road.<\/p>\n
Filip Jorgensen<\/h3>\n
Jorgensen played 24 times last season after joining from Villarreal, with most of those outings in the Conference League. The 23-year-old is expected to keep Sanchez honest for a second successive season.<\/p>\n
Aaron Anselmino<\/h3>\n
Signed with some fanfare from Boca Juniors, Argentine centre-back Anselmino returned to his former club on loan before finally making his Chelsea debut in the Club World Cup. Maresca doesn’t appear to consider him ready for the Premier League, and another loan looks likely.<\/p>\n
Pedro Neto<\/h3>\n
\n
\n<\/figure><\/span>Pedro Neto is gearing up for his second Chelsea season<\/span>(Image: FIFA via Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Chelsea already had plenty of wingers on their books when Neto joined from Wolves, but he looks very much to be part of the plan. The sale of fellow winger Madueke only reinforces that.<\/p>\n
Jadon Sancho<\/h3>\n
Sancho’s loan from Manchester United was a mixed bag, including a goal in the Conference League final. Chelsea decided against keeping him for the long haul, though, and parent club United are also pushing for a sale – with Juventus looking like the most likely destination.<\/p>\n
Mike Penders<\/h3>\n
Belgian keeper Penders arrived with a big reputation, with Chelsea completing the move last summer but letting him stay at Genk for another year. He has now completed a season-long loan to Strasbourg, where he is expected to fill Petrovic’s shoes.<\/p>\n
Mathis Amougou<\/h3>\n
A mid-season signing last February, French midfielder Amougou managed just two appearances. He has already been sent on his way, with Strasbourg completing a permanent swoop.<\/p>\n
