January Transfer Window Wrap-Up: Chelsea’s Complete List of Incoming and Outgoing Transfers with Enzo Fernandez’s big move
Chelsea was the most active Premier League club during the January transfer window, acquiring eight new players.
Enzo Fernandez, the Blues’ top priority during the January transfer window, was acquired for a club-record sum of £105 million after intense negotiations with Benfica.
The World Cup champions join Malo Gusto, Joao Felix, Benoit Badiashile, David Datso Fofana, Mykhailo Mudryk, Andrey Santos, and Noni Madueke on Graham Potter’s roster.
Cobham graduates Conor Gallagher and Ruben Loftus-Cheek remain with the club despite late interest.
Wesley Fofana, Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly, Marc Cucurella, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, as well as a host of young players, have been acquired by the new ownership at Stamford Bridge, who have also provided Potter with substantial support.
