Chelsea board plan to give Graham Potter time following the rebuild of his squad in the recently concluded January transfer window in which the Blues were the highest spenders.
The Stamford Bridge giants’ spending under the new Todd Boehly-Clearlake Capital ownership has been in excess of £500 million since last summer with as many as 16 new faces coming through the door.
With Chelsea innovating in an attempt to meet FFP rules, witnessed by the west London outfit handing eight-and-a-half-year deals to January signings Enzo Fernández and Mykhailo Mudryk, there is excitement over the extensive rebuild.
According to a report from The Guardian, it is claimed that the hefty spending in the mid-season window, which was Potter’s first since his appointment last year, would not place additional pressure on the head coach.
Chelsea want to give Potter a full pre-season with the squad and it is said that the club would be keen to part ways with a number of underperforming stars this summer to balance their books.
