Chelsea have done some great business in the summer transfer window as they have made some statement signings whilst also doing some great player sales.
They recently signed Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United for £40m to bolster their left-wing position.
The Argentine winger will give straight competition to another new signing Jamie Gittens, who has moved to Stamford Bridge from Dortmund.
Garnacho, who rose through the ranks at United's youth academy proved his brilliance in the last two season where he finished with 10-plus goals across all competitions.
However, he had a major fallout with Ruben Amorim and was out of the Portuguese manager's plans for the 2025/26 campaign.
Speaking about his signing, former United midfielder Paul Scholes back the Argentine to be at his best at Stadmford Bridge.

Addressing doubts from several football fans about Garnacho's off-the field issues and attitude, Scholes shared his thoughts on The Overlap Fan Debate, "Chelsea are almost the best of the rest under the top two or three (teams) and they needed investment in the right areas. I think he (Alejandro Garnacho) will be good for Chelsea.
"There’s a lot of k**bs now – it doesn’t mean they’re not going to be good at football. I don’t think he will be disruptive (in the Chelsea squad). I hope he is! But I don’t think he will."
What did Garnacho say after completing his Chelsea move?
Garnacho has featured in 144 matches for the Red Devils across all competitions and returned with 26 goals and provided 22 assists.
Despite being so young, he joins Chelsea with a substantial amount of Premier League experience and has all the qualities to be a great signing for the West London outfit.

"These types of moments give you the taste, and you want to keep winning," Garnacho told in an interview with Chelsea's media team. "When you get to a final, you want to score goals and win the trophy. This is my mentality.
"I have a winning mentality. I have passion and a big personality. It’s a natural fit with a club like Chelsea, which have just won the Club World Cup.
"Chelsea are at the top now, and it’s important to fight for the club like the fans deserve. I watched the Club World Cup, and to join the world champions is special – it means we’re the best team in the world!
"It’s not common to have played a lot of games at this age, but it has helped me a lot. I’m only 21 and I have a lot of experience from these different types of games, stadiums and moments."
Despite all the promise, it will be a major task for Garnacho to find a spot in the starting eleven for Chelsea with plenty of exciting talents present in the roster.
It will be interesting to see his development under Enzo Maresca as the Italian manager is known for his ability to bring out the best from youngsters.
