Chelsea Transfers: Chelsea vs Fulham: Victor Osimhen to Chelsea: Chelsea’s new era got off to a lacklustre start in a goalless draw with west London rivals Fulham. Despite Chelsea owner Todd Boehly spending £320 million in January. Despite Enzo’s vitality in the middle of the field, Chelsea’s inability to score goals cost them on a difficult night once again. In order to address this, Chelsea has entered the pursuit of Victor Osimhen, a striker for Napoli. The Blues have already signed RB Leipzig attacker Christopher Nkunku for the summer.

Despite their extravagant spending since Todd Boehly became the club’s owner, Chelsea is prepared to request a spending exception from the Premier League. In the last two transfer windows, Chelsea has spent more than £600 million ($723 million) on 17 new players, including eight in January. The Blues’ spending practises have drawn a lot of criticism. The Blues have brought in a tonne of fresh talent, but they still need to figure out how to get them to work together after their revamped team drew 0-0 with Fulham on Friday.

Few chances were created in the first half’s competitive atmosphere, although the greatest ones involved Enzo. The Argentine’s long ball played Mason Mount in, but Kai Havertz was unable to finish from his cut-back on the stretch after Kepa Arrizabalaga had wonderfully gotten down to turn a powerful Andreas Pereira strike around the post.

After receiving a beautiful feed from Hakim Ziyech, the German was once again the villain as he wasted another wonderful opportunity on the verge of halftime by looping the ball onto the post. Similar to the first, the second half was cagey and contentious, with numerous opportunities emerging in the closing minutes. Enzo nearly missed finishing off a strong debut when he whipped a loose ball from range.

Fernandez appeared to be a gentleman and a wise investment during his debut. The Argentine sprayed passes around with ease to win praise from his adoring new fans, and with magnificent long balls he launched two of Chelsea’s greatest attacks.

Due to a severe cold, Mudryk, who struggled against Fulham, was replaced at halftime. Chelsea outbid Arsenal to sign the Ukrainian international from Shakhtar Donetsk, and it appears that they did so without taking into account the high asking price.

Additionally playing for Fulham were Benoit Badiashile ($33.7m) and David Datro Fofana ($10m). Fofana was unlucky not to win the game when his goal-bound shot was cleared, while Badiashile looked secure at the defence and an imposing presence beside Thiago Silva.

However, the unfortunate truth for Chelsea and Potter is that a starting lineup that cost a total of £470 million once again fell short. With eight league victories in 21 games, Chelsea is ninth in the standings, nine points back of fourth-place Manchester United for the final Champions League spot. They have only scored 22 goals, somewhat more than their one goal per game average.
