Chelsea look to carry the momentum from their inaugural Club World Cup win into the new season, bolstering their already youthful squad with promising young signings.
Idman,biz, citing Reuters, reports that after finishing fourth last season under Enzo Maresca, the club aims to improve domestically and in the Champions League. Key defender Levi Colwill, a rising star, suffered a knee injury during training, casting doubts over his availability.
Maresca must manage the workload for mainstays like Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo, Marc Cucurella, and Cole Palmer, who led appearances last season. New arrivals include Brazil’s Joao Pedro, England’s Rory Delap, and Dutch defender Jorrel Hato, all under 23, emphasizing Chelsea’s youth investment strategy.
To balance finances, Chelsea sold players such as Kepa Arrizabalaga and Armando Broja, raising nearly £200 million. Club World Cup prize money and potential new sponsorships support their financial efforts as the Blues aim for success on multiple fronts.
