Shockingly, Chelsea have Caicedo (after his refusal to go to Liverpool) AND are about to sign Lavia, too.  Southampton has accepted the bid, and Romeo is looking for an apartment in London tonight.

So, you have a midfield of Enzo the World Cup winner, Moises Caicedo (the next N'Golo Kante), Romeo Lavia and Andrey Santos, the young 6 from Brazil who played so well on the Summer American Tour, plus the big French kid Lesley Ugochukwu who they just signed when it looked like they might miss out on Moises.

That's like in the top 3 midfields in the world, and they're all between 19 and 24 years old.  This teams is loaded now.  They've cut about 15 guys from last year's squad, and because the new owner is so smart about amortization loopholes, they've signed all these guys to more long-term 8 year deals, and remain 65M within the FFP guidelines.

They will probably move on some young guys who they might have otherwise kept, like Lewis Hall (LB and MF), Marc Cucurella (everyone hopes ...), probably Connor Gallagher, who is down to about 6th choice in the current squad, Trevor Challobah - that could get them another 60M or more.
