It was a chaotic deadline for Chelsea, selling Enzo Fernandez to Manchester City and then failing to sign his replacement.
The Blues were targeting Monaco’s Lamine Camara, but the Ligue 1 club pulled out of a deal at the last minute. The deal collapsed as the Chelsea brass was reportedly left fuming by the situation.
Nevertheless, it was still a busy transfer window for Chelsea. They spent conservatively this summer, unlike previous years, and made profit from multiple player sales.

What’s Next for Chelsea?
Xabi Alonso’s first two games in charge of Chelsea have been chaotic football, with a 3-2 win against Fulham on Matchday 1 and a 4-3 victory over Brighton last weekend.
Here are Chelsea’s next four fixtures before the September international break:
- September 6 (Premier League): vs. Arsenal at Emirates Stadium
- September 9 (EFL Cup): vs. Leeds United at Stamford Bridge
- September 12 (Premier League): vs. Hull City at Stamford Bridge
- September 18 (Premier League): vs. Brentford at Gtech Community Stadium
With no European football this season, Chelsea can focus on qualification and possibly a top-four finish.
