Having already signed Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner, the Blues have been ruthless ahead of the summer window. Adding Havertz to that list will certainly make it a window to remember.

Chelsea have shown good progress under Lampard. With better players at his disposal, it remains to be seen what he can do.
