So what’s behind it? As we all know, clubs are under threat from Financial Fair Play and the Premier League’s new revenue and sustainability rules. But is that the only reason? Football.london Chelsea writer Bobby Vincent explains what happened at Stamford Bridge…“With everything happening behind the scenes, with the Profit and Sustainability Regulations (PSR) having recently disadvantaged teams such as Everton and Nottingham Forest, the club will take a pragmatic approach to its transfer efforts this month.
Chelsea believe they are well within the Premier League’s PSR guidelines despite spending more than £1bn since Todd Boly took over.
It was a very quiet transfer market in January. To all. We weren’t as excited about the move as we usually are this time of year. Consider the 12 months Chelsea spent signing the likes of Michailo Mudryk and Enzo Fernandes. This time, Chelsea are one of the many clubs who have not done business in the current winter transfer window.
