Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital have signed a total of 17 players since buying the club from Roman Abramovich.

Reacting to the number of signings that Chelsea have made under Boehly, Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek said: “I’ve never had this kind of feeling before with so many new players coming in. We need to embrace it; it’s happened for the better.

“The quicker we can get these boys to settle in and gel, the quicker we can start performing better.

“But believe me, we’re not taking these draws and losses and that’s it. We’re hurt when we lose or draw. We’re taking every necessary step to win.”
