EPL: Merson names one good signing Chelsea have made since Boehly takeover

Arsenal legend Paul Merson has named Cole Palmer as the one ‘really good signing’ Chelsea have made since Todd Boehly’s takeover of the club last year.

Since Boehly arrived at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea have spent over £1 billion on a total of 29 new players.

However, only a few have proven successful at the club.

“If Chelsea go and buy players in January, then Pochettino has to have a say in it,” Merson wrote for Sky Sports.

“I went through the summer signings. I was looking at them, and it was like, “good signing”, “alright”, “no”, “alright”, “not bad” and “alright”. That’s where it is at the moment. There are not many you can say have been amazing.

“Cole Palmer has been a really good signing, but I’m not sure there’s much else.

“Mykhailo Mudryk hasn’t really got going. [Moises] Caicedo doesn’t look like a £115m player. Enzo Fernandes looks really good every now and then.

“Axel Disasi looks good when he plays next to Thiago Silva and he’s playing well. Noni Madueke and Carney Chukwuemeka don’t play.”
