After making nine transfers for the 2024/25 season, Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has claimed the club are not done making new signings.
Portugal international Pedro Neto joined the club last weekend from Wolverhampton Wanderers, becoming the ninth new player to make the switch to Stamford Bridge.
The Blues currently boast 43 players in the squad, but they are looking to move on some unwanted players before the transfer window closes, including Conor Gallagher and Romelu Lukaku.

However, Maresca says that fans can expect more incomings in the next few weeks but did not want to comment on links with Napoli's Victor Osimhen and Joao Feix.
"The only thing I can say is I always have to say the same. They are not our players so it is not correct, I think, to talk about a Napoli player or -- who is the other one? -- an Atlético Madrid player.
"In this moment, the club knows exactly what I think in terms of what we need in case we do something and hopefully before we finish the transfer window, we can bring in some players."
When asked about the players not in the plans, he added, "We have been 20 days in America with 28, 29 players so it has been quite good in terms of managing the squad," Maresca said. "Now we have the guys who are not involved in our squad, they are training apart. At the moment, it is not difficult, also because if I start to think I have 43 players, probably it is not a good thing.

"I just finished the session now and I am already thinking about tomorrow's session. It is the only thing I like to do, I like to control, If you start thinking about 43 players, 'manager [has] no time,' I think it is not worth it.
"The [sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart] are there trying to find solutions for these kinds of players. I am not the guy in charge of finding solution for these players otherwise they have to pay me double."
