Chelsea closing first signing of the Todd Boehly era; announcement imminent
Chelsea closing first signing of the Todd Boehly era, and an announcement is imminent according to reports.
Chelsea are on the verge of signing their first player under Todd Boehly, with Thomas Tuchel likely to reunite with one of his previous players.
Boehly recently completed his ownership of Chelsea, and he could be on his way to bringing in Ousmane Dembele as his first signing at Stamford Bridge.
Tuchel previously worked with Dembele at Borussia Dortmund, and the Barcelona winger’s contract expires this summer.

According to talkSPORT, Chelsea are close to agreeing on a deal to bring Dembele to the Premier League.
After signing for Barcelona for £135.5 million, acquiring Dembele on a free transfer may be probably one of the finest summer bargains.
The French winger has the undeniable ability, but injuries have stymied his growth at the Spanish giants thus far.
Dembele, 25, may be a great hit in the Premier League next season if Tuchel can bring him back to performing as he did for Dortmund.
Under Tuchel, none of Chelsea’s wingers have been particularly impressive, with Timo Werner, Christian Pulisic, and Hakim Ziyech all having had poor Chelsea careers thus far.
