Once again, it seems as if we're losing focus when it comes to transfers in the summer window.
Having already agreed deals for Jamie Gittens and Joao Pedro, with Estevao Willian arriving after the CWC and further attacking arrivals incoming next summer, Chelsea's sporting directors aren't satisfied and are eyeing up more potential names.
We had a deal agreed for Mohammed Kudus... last summer? Two summers ago? Either way, it didn't end up materialising because we couldn't agree on a suitable fee with Ajax, and West Ham swooped in and offered to foot the bill.
Then we went for Cole Palmer - which originally was viewed as a 'last resort' signing, but over the last few seasons Chelsea fans have been well and truly proven wrong.
I'm a fan of Kudus, but at this point I feel like a transfer doesn't make sense for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, we haven't ticked off the most important task this window, which is getting rid of several players on our squad list.
Especially in attack, the likes of Raheem Sterling, Joao Felix and Chrisopher Nkunku may have to be cleared before we even think about signing another forward - in fact, one could argue that this should have already happened before Pedro was finalised, though I recognise the importance of implementing the player into our CWC before the second deadline.
Not to mention players like Andrey Santos - who has demonstrated his talents while on loan at Strasbourg last season, but could be knocked down the pecking order if we sign more players in his position. Chelsea fans are always quick to get excited over potential signings, but forget that our existing options are talented enough in their own right.
A good example is Pedro Neto - who has three goals from three appearances at the CWC so far, making him one of the tournament's highest rated players as a result.
The overarching goal with our forward line has been to take some of the workload off Cole Palmer, alongside building an attacking midfield that can thrive in a variety of roles. We have begun to see that through Enzo Fernandez and his increased goal contributions, the development of Noni Madueke (who I hope is not tempted by a move to Arsenal) and the aforementioned signings of Jamie Gittens, who can play both flanks, and Joao Pedro, who is comfortable at ST, LW and in the 10 as a second striker or creative springboard.
Add Liam Delap, Estevao, Nicolas Jackson, Pedro Neto, as well as solid backups in Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Tyrique George, and you should have plenty of attacking depth heading into the season.
Chelsea's focus from here on out needs to be outgoings, and making signings at other crucial areas, particularly in the defence at LB, as well as a potential new CB and GK.
A deal for Kudus would most likely form a swap deal with several Chelsea players heading in the opposite direction, but I would still be opposed to it if it prohibited the development or playing time of our other options. I hope we don't get carried away; we need to focus on the important areas, rather than spoiling the team composition.
