10.Timo Werner - £,53m (from RB Leipzig, 2020)
Ah, the enigma that is Timo Werner. The German was signed in the summer of 2020 after a fabulous goalscoring season with RB Leipzig in which he smashed in 34 goals in 42 appearances in all competitions.
In his debut season with Chelsea he scored less than half of that.
9. Raheem Sterling - £56.2m (from Man City, 2022)
Despite winning the 2021 Champions League, the following season illustrated that Chelsea were lacking star-power in their attack.
In his debut season with Chelsea he scored less than half of that.
8. Jorginho - £57m (from Napoli, 2018)
Jorginho joined Chelsea in 2018 when he followed Maurizio Sarri from Napoli.
The Italy international, who was born in Brazil, had been a focal point of Sarri’s highly successful team in Naples, where he was their chief deep-lying playmaker.
7. Fernando Torres - £58m (from Liverpool, 2011)
Fernando Torres was a roaring success at Liverpool, with 69 goals in his three-and-a-half seasons there, but he never hit the same heights at Chelsea.
A warning sign should’ve come with his injury issues, and the fact that whilst he netted 18 league goals in just 1,717 minutes in 2009/10, Torres was on the decline in 2010/11
6. Christian Pulisic - £64m (from Dortmund, 2019)
Christian Pulisic is yet to live up to expectations as a Chelsea player since his big money move from Borussia Dortmund.
His turn of speed, speed of thought on the ball and dribbling ability have not translated into success on the pitch generally.
5.Marc Cucurella - £65.3m (from Brighton, 2022)
Chelsea were truly splashing the cash in the first summer under Boehly and they spent £62m on Brighton wing-back Marc Cucurella, beating off interest from Man City and Barcelona in the process.
The deal was complicated, with sources prematurely claiming the move was complete, prompting Brighton to release a statement quashing the speculation.
4. Alvaro Morata - £66m (from Real Madrid, 2017)
Alvaro Morata was never a consistent regular at Real Madrid, but the form he displayed on loan at Juventus, and during his fleeting appearances for Los Blancos, suggested that he was a talismanic figure with expert instincts in the box
3. Kepa Arrizabalaga - £80 m (from Athletic Bilbao, 2018)
Due to their policy of only fielding players from the Basque region, it’s extremely expensive to pry players away from Athletic Bilbao, as Chelsea found out with Kepa Arrizabalaga.
A world-record fee for a goalkeeper was agreed as the club needed a replacement for the Real Madrid-bound Thibaut Courtois, but it’s not gone to plan.
2. Kai Havertz - £80m (from Leverkusen, 2020)
Though it was not seen as a gamble of sorts when Chelsea made Kai Havertz their most expensive signing at the time, the fee was seen as exorbitant for a 21-year-old.
1. Romelu Lukaku - 1137m (From Inter, 2021)
While it may have seemed odd on paper for Chelsea to spend so much money on a player they once had on their books as a young prospect, the signing of Romelu Lukaku in the summer of 2021 was undoubtedly a statement transfer from the club.
