Thiago Silva
After becoming Club World Champions in 2021/22, Chelsea go into the new season as a team in transition with several incoming and outgoing players, and new ownership looking to bring stability to the club. With the disruption of a Winter World Cup starting in November, this looks set to be a season like no other - and a challenging one for all clubs to negotiate - but with Thomas Tuchel at the helm, and an experienced squad at his disposal, hopes will be high that Chelsea can compete on all fronts yet again as they look to bring more silverware back to Stamford Bridge.
'Making history, not reliving it.' That has been the mantra by which those at Stamford Bridge have lived and died since Roman Abramovich bought Chelsea in 2003. And with the transfer ban now a distant memory, the club are making up for lost time by bringing in the cream of world footballing talent, including the outstanding Timo Werner and Kai Havertz from the Bundesliga, Hakim Ziyech from the Eredivisie, as well as defensive reinforcements in Thiago Silva and Ben Chilwell. Mixed with the exciting young players that broke into the first team 12 months ago, expectations will be high that Chelsea can challenge on all fronts in the 2020/21 season.
