Chelsea’s transfer policy under the new ownership has drawn a lot of criticism over the years. For understandable reasons as well. The club have spent north of a billion pounds on signing new players but they do not even seem to be a team that is locked-on to qualify for the Champions League, like Arsenal or Manchester City.
If you spend that kind of money, you need to compete for the Premier League as well as the Champions League. Chelsea have not done that. It is not as easy to pull off as many might believe though. Just look at Liverpool this season
Liverpool spent north of £400 million in the summer transfer window to sign players like Florian Wirtz, Alexander Isak, Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong and more. Most viewed this as the start of an era of dominance for the Reds. Instead, they are struggling right now and are another team that might miss out on a Champions League spot if they do not improve quickly. Even worse is that they are the Premier League holders. So, after spending so much, they have declined drastically.
Coming back to Chelsea, there are some big-money signings that have worked out for them and could form the base of a successful team in the future. Moises Caicedo falls in that category for sure.
