Chelsea's 31-Man Squad After January Transfer Window [Full List]

The January transfer window is officially closed with Chelsea having the busiest Premier League transfer after securing eight new players.

Enzo Fernandez, the Blues’ priority over the January transfer window, was signed late on deadline day for a club-record £105million following intense talks with Benfica.

The World Cup winners joins a list of additions to Graham Potter’s squad following Malo Gusto, Joao Felix, Benoit Badiashile, David Datro Fofana, Mykhailo Mudryk, Andrey Santos and Noni Madueke.

Chelsea were the biggest spenders by a distance, not only in the Premier League but across world football. Many of the deals were made possible by many of the arrivals signing contracts in excess of seven years so that their costs could be amortized across the length of their deals and financial years.

Notably, Chelsea saw just one major outgoing from their squad as midfielder Jorginho joined Arsenal in a deal worth in the region of £ 12 million. The Italy international had just five months remaining on his contract at Stamford Bridge.

There were no other outgoings from the club as Hakim Ziyech saw a loan transfer to Paris Saint-Germain break down despite the Moroccan international being expected to complete a switch after spending deadline day at the French club’s offices. Chelsea are said to have sent the wrong paperwork for a deal to be completed, seeing a move break down.

Conor Gallagher was another player linked with a late Chelsea exit but no deal could be struck with any of his suitors, which included Newcastle and Everton. That ensures Potter has a notably bloated squad for the remaining few months of the campaign.

Here is a look at Chelsea’s squad for the remainder of the 2022/23 season as the Blues look to compete in the Premier League and Champions League.
