Todd Boehly Chelsea Spend: 44 Signings Since June 2022

Unsurprisingly, Chelsea’s frivolous spending and acquisition of 44 players makes their Premier League rivals look like juveniles in the transfer market. 

Liverpool have signed just nine players in the last two years. Incredibly, you have to go all the way back to the 2015/16 season to discover the Reds 44th acquisition – James Milner. 

Across the continent, Real Madrid have only signed 10 players since Todd Boehly took charge at Chelsea. 44 signings ago saw Chicarito join Los Blancos in 2014/15. A whole ten years back. 

The west Londoners’ most costly additions come in the form of Moises Caicedo (£115m) and Enzo Fernandez (£106.8m).

Pedro Neto is the clubs 44th signing during the Boehly era. However, Nottingham Forest has signed more players since June 2022. Currently they are on 49. 

Todd Boehly Spends More Than Nine Premier League Clubs Have In Their Entire Histories

Consequently, Chelsea’s overzealous spending since Todd Boehly took over has seen the Blues dominate the English transfer market. 

The west Londoners have spent more than nine current Premier League clubs in their entire histories. 

The likes of Everton, Southampton, Wolves, Leicester, Fulham, Brighton, Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth are all trailing behind Boehly’s juggernaut. 

Granted, the Blues have raised plenty of funds with a number of costly departures but their gung-ho approach in the market is highly irregular. 

Especially compared to the likes of Arsenal, Aston Villa, Liverpool, Man City and Man United. All the aforementioned clubs have signed nowhere near as many players since June 2022. 

Teenage Spend Under Todd Boehly Reaches £280.2m 

Chelsea’s well-documented spending certainly steals all the headlines. However, their outlay on teenagers has gone under the radar somewhat.

Just over £280m has been splashed on 15 players aged 19 or under at the time they joined the club. That is approximately £10m more than all of Liverpool’s arrivals (£271.6m) in the same period. The most expensive is Romeo Lavia, who set the Blues back a whopping £58m. 

Estevao Willian will link up with his new teammates at Stamford Bridge next summer. The £51m capture from Palmeiras joins when he turns 18. 

Malo Gusto is the third-costliest addition to Todd Boehly’s revolution. He cost a cool £30.7m from Lyon in 2022/23. 

Nonetheless, it really is an eye-opener to discover how much – and how little – the Blues seem to care about their transfer activities. Especially when it comes to young players.
