Chelsea ended the season in third place in the Premier League with two trophies won - Super Cup and Club World Cup. But the work doesn't stop for the Blues despite the campaign being over. There is still more pressing matters.
The takeover. That is set to be completed in the coming days this week. This will allow the Blues to begin their summer plans as Tuchel looks to shape his squad for next season and a Premier League title challenge.

Boehly is set to heavily invest in the first-team and more detailed talks are expected to follow in the coming weeks once the takeover is formally wrapped up.
Tuchel has already identified his targets for the new owners', confirming: "We have clear ideas for the profiles and characteristic of these players. It is not like you put a name on the list and then you get the player. You have to convince the player, you have to speak to other clubs and convince yourself this is the player, so there is normally a lot of work and it will be the same to be competitive next season, while, like everybody else, tries to close the gap to us, while the two top teams are what they are. A benchmark of consistency
