Rating Chelsea’s summer transfer signings

The transfer window is done and dusted. Chelsea came away with five new players over the summer, but are they all good signings?

It was a dramatic summer transfer window for Chelsea. Despite leaving it late, the Blues still came away with five senior squad additions. However, do these signings represent decent business? After you had your say, I asked around The Pride Of London staff to get their ‘expert’ views.

NB All ratings are done on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the highest.

Michy Batshuayi

Barrett Rouen: 7.5. I wasn’t convinced when he first came but I quite frankly hope David Luiz can make me do as much of a U-turn as Michy has. Love him.

Travis Tyler: 8. For once, the second coming of Didier Drogba seems to actually be a reality. If he keeps finding ways to contribute, Chelsea will have a legend on their hands.

Andre Carlisle: 8. Aside from the fact that for just a few million pounds more Chelsea could have bought Marseille (like, the whole thing), Batshuayi was a solid pickup. In addition to being a social media hero and already a fan-favorite, Batshuayi – who knows how to score goals as well as create them – is just good.

Dan McClue: 9. He hasn’t been given much of a run out yet, which makes how well he’s played all the more impressive. In eight years time this will go down as a top five signing for Chelsea.

Scott Brant: 8. He has loads of potential, and flashes of brilliance to back it up.

Ajitesh Rasgotra: 10. Purely for his social media antics.

Ayushman Basu: 9. In the limited minutes on the pitch he has shown great potential. He can easily lead the attack for the team and I’m expecting him to reach double figures in goal tally for the season.

Next: N'Golo Kante
