Enzo Maresca arrives as Chelsea’s fourth manager under Boehly tenure after Mauricio Pochettino’s exit at Chelsea.
The Italian has penned down a deal with the club, which has prompted the club to pursue the former Leicester chief for the long-term since he was instrumental in helping Leicester win the Championship this season.
The club’s activity in the transfer market has increased since Todd Boehly’s acquisition in 2022, and the club continues the trend through the summer window.
In this case, due to the changes that Maresca has brought in the management of the club, the activities that the club will engage in will be closely monitored.
Although signed from Villareal during the summer of the previous session, Nicolas Jackson gave early indication of his potential. Though Chelsea wants to bring in a striker again and there are rumors that Jackson will play the winger.

The Blues understand that in order to acquire a long-term talent in the number nine position, substantial funds will have to be spent on the player.
Therefore, Maresca has wished for striker Christopher Nkunku, known to be an adept false nine, to remain fit throughout the season.
The impact of the former RB Leipzig star on the fitness of the Chelsea team will be so significant for team’s attack formation.
Chelsea has been buying a central defender often in the last few years after Boehly’s takeover but now Thiago Silva, an experienced player in the team, has left.
At the same time, the club is already looking for a replacement and may have already found the candidate.
The defensive lineup for the squad appear to be one of Maresca’s main aims and objectives in the transfer window, and the club may therefore need to bring in another big name talent to replace Silva.
Positions such as the full-back positions may also be in for a shift or two.
Ben Chilwell has suffered regularly from knee complaints and there have been some changes mooted regarding this aspect.
Despite expectation of a new goalkeeper having been predicted, Maresca apparently likes Robert Sanchez and may retain him as his first choice goalkeeper.
Therefore, Maresca’s strategic vision for Chelsea unveiled during the Summer transfer window captures the essence of the club.
The emphasis on signing an elite striker, ensuring the signing of a quality central defender, and possible changes in the full-back positions demonstrate the stylistics of the formation of a competitive team.
