Todd Boehly has 13 key Chelsea transfer decisions to make ahead of huge summer window

We are now well and truly into the 'business end' of the 2023/24 season and talk is already starting to take place about the summer transfer window.

After Silva admitted his time at Chelsea is «almost over» in January, Pochettino responded with: «I didn't hear what he said after the game. We didn't talk about the next season.
