On Sunday, young defender Jorrel Hato arrived from Ajax, becoming Chelsea 's latest player and 39th signing in the last four years.

It can be seen that Chelsea is one of the 'busiest' clubs in the transfer window, when owner Todd Boehly does not hesitate to spend money to 'inflate' the squad.

Captain Enzo Maresca, when he joined The Blues last summer, was concerned about this. However, Chelsea have not stopped shopping.

And to make room for new players, Chelsea was forced to 'clean up' its squad. The London team was recently discovered to have blatantly deleted the names of 9 stars on the club's official website, even though they were still part of Chelsea's squad.

Raheem Sterling, who arrived from Man City on a five-year contract in 2022, is one of the players who no longer has a name or image in Chelsea's first team.

With things not going well at Stamford Bridge, Sterling moved to Arsenal on loan last season, after Enzo Maresca announced he would not be playing regularly.

Ben Chilwell, who was also loaned out to Chelsea last season, is another player on the list of players who have just been 'removed' from the first team by the club.

Striker duo Armando Broja and midfielder Lesley Ugochukwu, who are expected to be sold to Burnley, are also no longer listed on Chelsea's website, along with academy graduate Alfie Gilchrist.

The remaining four names on the list 'erased' from Chelsea are Axel Disasi, Carney Chuwuemeka, Renato Veiga and David Datro Fofana.

In fact, apart from Broja and Gilchrist, the remaining 7 players have just been removed from Chelsea's squad, costing the club more than £200 million in transfer fees.

It is worth noting that Mykhailo Mudryk, who is facing a possible four-year ban from the FA for doping, is still listed on Chelsea's official website, with his profile picture being last season's kit.
