As the clock ticks towards the end of the summer transfer window, Chelsea are still in desperate need of trimming the size of their bloated first-team squad.
Despite the departures of the likes of Conor Gallagher and Bashir Humphreys, the Blues are still trying to find homes for several players who are not in Enzo Maresca’s first-team plans.
It comes after a busy transfer window which has seen Chelsea sign the likes of Joao Felix, who returns to Stamford Bridge following a six-month loan in 2023, and former Wolves winger Pedro Neto.
Here’s a look at who Chelsea have signed in the summer 2024 transfer window and how much they have spent on new signings in total – along with their all-important net spend.
Who have Chelsea signed in the summer transfer window?
Joao Felix – Atletico Madrid, £46.3m
The versatile Portuguese forward spent half a season on loan in west London at the start of last year, which saw him net four goals in 16 Premier League appearances.
Felix scored his first goal in his second Chelsea stint in the 6-2 drubbing of Wolvesat Molineux.
Pedro Neto – Wolves, £54m

The Portugal winger has signed a seven-year deal having also attracted interest from Arsenal.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall – Leicester City, £30m

Having impressed under Maresca in the Championship, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall followed the Italian to Stamford Bridge over the summer.
The central midfielder made his competitive debut off the bench in the defeat to Manchester City.
Filip Jorgensen – Villarreal, £20.7m

With Djordje Petrovic falling out of favour under Maresca, Chelsea moved to bring in a replacement to compete with Robert Sanchez for the number one jersey.
That man was Filip Jorgensen who completed his move from Spanish side Villarreal for a fee just over £20m.
Marc Guiu – Barcelona, £5m

Spanish youngster Marc Guiu was also picked up by club, signing from Barcelona for a relatively small £5m.
The 18-year-old impressed on Chelsea’s pre-season tour in the United States and came off the bench as a late replacement against City.
And the rest
Aston Villa youngster Omari Kellyman joined the Blues for £19m, while Chelsea also brought in centre-back Tosin Adarabioyo from another Premier League rival – Fulham – on a free transfer.
Further afield, Aarón Anselmino joined from Argentinian side Boca Juniors for £15.6m, while American full-back Caleb Wiley completed his switch from Atlanta for £8.5m.
Portuguese youngster Renato Veiga completed his move from FC Basel in a deal worth around £11.8m.
The Blues’ growing goalkeeping contingent has been further boosted by the arrival of Mike Penders, with the 19 year-old Belgian joining from Genk on a contract until 2032 having returned to the club on loan for the season.
Tosin Adarabioyo is another addition at Stamford Bridge
How much have Chelsea spent in the summer transfer window and what is their net spend?

The West London side have also sold the likes of Ian Maatsen (£37.5m), Lewis Hall (£28m) and Omari Hutchinson (£20m), giving them a net spend of around -£98m.
