Enzo Fernandez’s courageous decision results in success as Chelsea’s strategy for Mykhailo Mudryk becomes evident.
Enzo Fernandez’s courageous decision has proven successful as Chelsea’s strategy for Mykhailo Mudryk becomes evident. During the January transfer window, Chelsea made history by acquiring eight new players through a massive spending spree.
During the summer, Chelsea splurged over £270million on new signings, which left fans wondering how the new owners, Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali, would handle the winter transfer window. However, no one could have predicted what Chelsea would do in January.
Chelsea didn’t just make a few big signings; they made more than any other club had ever done before. The total cost for the eight new players was over £300million, resulting in a larger squad overseen by Graham Potter. Nevertheless, excitement among Chelsea supporters was high.
Potter acknowledged that the investment in transfer fees and salaries made sense for the club’s current position, with a talented group of hungry players ready to help the team now and develop as the club grows. He expressed this sentiment to Sky Sports after the window closed.
“The players that we have signed, the age of them, we have changed the direction of the team to where they needed to go, it is now about making it function.”
Potter and his staff didn’t achieve that in a winless February. Things have improved in March, however, and Chelsea are unbeaten in four matches. But how have the January signings fared? We have taken a look at how each of the eight players – and we’ve not included Gabriel Slonina as he was signed in August – have got on thus far.
Chelsea’s interest in the French footballer Badiashile intensified towards the end of December, and on January 5, the club confirmed his signing from Monaco for a reported fee of £35million.
Badiashile was slowly integrated into the team, as he was initially an unused substitute in matches against Fulham and Manchester City. However, he was given his first chance to play against Crystal Palace, a game which Chelsea won by a single goal, and he kept two clean sheets in subsequent matches against Liverpool and Fulham.
Since then, the 21-year-old has made a total of eight appearances for Chelsea, demonstrating his ability to perform effectively as part of a back four or on the left of a back three. It is expected that he will remain an important player in the team’s first-choice lineup for years to come.

David Datro Fofana was brought in from Molde, Andrey Santos was signed from Vasco da Gama, Joao Felix arrived on loan from Atletico Madrid, Mykhailo Mudryk joined from Shakhtar Donetsk, Noni Madueke was signed from PSV Eindhoven, and Malo Gusto was signed from Lyon but remained on loan until the summer.
