Despite alot of transfer speculation linking a number of world class players with Stamford Bridge, Maurizio Sarri only managed to sign Pulisic from Borussia Dortmund and Higuain from Juventus on-loan until the end of the season.

However, there are many in the media that are not happy with the business of Chelsea as the club needed to acquire a world class defender and a striker that will be at the club longer than a few months.

Gunners legend Alan Smtih said on icfootballnews: 

‘They have gone to the top end in terms of players and fees in Higuain and Pulisic.

‘They did need a striker and they have filled that gap, but Higuain does need to get fitter and acclimatised to this style of football.

‘However, there is all sorts going on there, so it is not just a question of putting in a striker and all being well.

‘Pulisic is a young player with a lot of potential, although he was not pulling up trees at Dortmund and he lost his place to Jadon Sancho.

‘But the deal will give them pace and width next season and they have lightened the wage bill.

‘And they needed a striker and given there were not many out there with that sort of pedigree, they have done well.’

 

But were they good signings by the club?
