The 2017–18 season is Chelsea's 104th competitive season, 28th consecutive season in the top flight of English football, 26th consecutive season in the Premier League, and 112th year in existence as a football club.[1] The season covers the period from 1 July 2017 to 30 June 2018.

The season will be the first without club legend John Terry after he departed on a free transfer following 22 years with the club. Chelsea return to the Champions League after a single season's absence, and enter the Premier League season as defending champions. The season will also be Chelsea's first under the new kit deal with Nike, the most lucrative commercial deal in the history of the club.[2]

Month by month review

May

On 22 May 2017, it was announced that Juan Cuadrado would join Juventus on a permanent deal for a preset price of £17.3 million, signing a contract with Serie A champions until 2020, after a clause in his loan contract had been triggered.[3]

On 24 May, newly promoted Premier League club Newcastle United activated the option to buy clause in Christian Atsu's loan deal from the 2016-17 season, signing the player for a reported £6.2 million.[4][5]

On 30 May 2017, Asmir Begović signed for Premier League club Bournemouth on a long-term contract for an undisclosed fee rumoured to be close to £10 million.[6]

June

Whilst on international duty with Belgium, Eden Hazard fractured his right ankle and as such was ruled out for three months, meaning that he will likely miss the start of the new season.[7]

On 26 June, Burkina Faso international Bertrand Traoré signed for French club Olympique Lyonnais for an initial £8.8 million, plus potential add-ons.[8][9] Traoré signed a five-year contract with Lyon, with reports suggesting that buy-back and sell-on clauses had been included in the contract.[10]

On 30 June, academy product and Netherlands international defender Nathan Aké signed for AFC Bournemouth, who broke their transfer record with a reported £20 million fee. Aké spent the first half of the 2016-17 season on loan with Bournemouth, before being recalled to Chelsea in January. [11][12]

July

After reaching an agreement with Rangers, youth player Billy Gilmour joined Chelsea on the 1st July for a reported £500,000.[13] Daishawn Redan, a youth striker at Ajax became the second big name youth signing of the season and Ethan Ampadu of Exeter City also linked up with the academy upon the opening of the summer transfer window.[14]

On 1 July, Chelsea and Nike unveiled the club's new kits for the 2017-18 season, to be sold in the refurbished megastore.[15] Also on 1st July, Chelsea announced the signing of Argentinian goalkeeper Willy Caballero on a free transfer from Manchester City.[16]

On 3 July, after an illustrious career with the club spanning 22 years, former Chelsea captain John Terry signed for Championship club Aston Villa.[17]

Also on 3 July, young English midfielder Kasey Palmer signed a new contract with Chelsea, keeping him at Stamford Bridge until the end of the 2021-22 season. Palmer also completed a season-long loan deal with newly promoted Premier League club Huddersfield Town, returning to the club after helping them to gain promotion the previous season.[18]

On 4 July, academy product Tammy Abraham signed a new five-year contract with Chelsea, keeping him at Stamford Bridge until the end of the 2021-22 season. On the same day, Abraham completed a season-long loan move to Premier League club Swansea City.[19]

On 9 July, Chelsea completed the signing of German defender Antonio Rüdiger from A.S. Roma, for a fee of £29 million. Rüdiger was assigned the No. 2 shirt on his arrival at the club.[20][21]

On 10 July, it was announced that newly signed goalkeeper Willy Caballero would be assigned the no.1 shirt for the forthcoming campaign. The no.1 had previously been worn by Asmir Begović before his transfer to Bournemouth. On the same day, it was revealed that academy product Charly Musonda’s new shirt number would be no. 17. In addition, the Premier League granted Chelsea permission for his shirt name to be "Musonda Jr.".[22]

On 11 July, English defender and academy product Ola Aina completed a season-long loan move to Championship club Hull City.[23]

On 12 July, English midfielder and academy product Ruben Loftus-Cheek completed a season-long loan move to Crystal Palace.[24]

On 13 July, English midfielder and academy product Nathaniel Chalobah completed a transfer to Premier League club Watford, for an undisclosed fee reported to be around £5.5 million. Buy-back and sell-on clauses were reported to have been included in the deal.[25][26]

On 14 July, Brazilian winger Lucas Piazon signed a two-year contract extension at Chelsea, simultaneously completing a season-long loan move to London neighbours Fulham, where he had previously been on loan in the 2016-17 season.[27] Also on 14 July, academy defender Jake Clarke-Salter signed a new four-year contract at the club.[28]

On 15 July, Chelsea announced the signing of France midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko from AS Monaco, for a initial fee of £40 million. He was assigned the No. 14 shirt at the club, with the previous occupant Ruben Loftus-Cheek having left Chelsea on loan for the season. [29][30]

On 18 July, first-team manager Antonio Conte was rewarded for his successful first season at Chelsea with a new two-year contract, serving to replace the previous contract and offer improved terms to the Italian. After signing the new contract, Conte said; "I am very happy to have signed a new contract with Chelsea. We worked extremely hard in our first year to achieve something amazing, which I am very proud of. Now we must work even harder to stay at the top. The Chelsea fans have given me so much support since I arrived here one year ago and it is important we continue to succeed together.". Along with the new contract, two new members of Conte's backroom team were announced, these being Paolo Vanoli and Davide Mazzotta. Vanoli fulfils the role of first-team assistant, while Mazzotta will work as both an assistant and a player analyst.[31]

On 19 July, Chelsea announced that a fee had been agreed with Real Madrid for the transfer of Álvaro Morata, subject to him agreeing personal terms and passing a medical with Chelsea. The 24 year-old is a Spanish international forward, who helped Real Madrid defend their Champions League title in 2017, scoring 20 goals in all competitions across the 2016-17 season. The initial fee is reported to be around £58 million, which could increase to £70 million with add-ons, which would make him Chelsea's new record signing, surpassing the £50 million fee paid for Fernando Torres in January 2011.[32][33] The signing was officially announced two days later on 21 July, with Morata signing a five-year deal with the Premier League champions.[34]

On 21 July, Álvaro Morata was announced by the club after he completed his £70 million transfer from Real Madrid on a five-year deal, as personal terms were agreed and he passed his medical in London. He will join up with the rest of the squad on their pre-season tour in Asia.[35] French international defender Kurt Zouma signed a new six-year contract with Chelsea, keeping him at Stamford Bridge until the end of the 2022-23 season. Simultaneously, Zouma also completed a season-long loan move to Premier League club Stoke City.[36] Academy product Jay Dasilva signed a new contract with Chelsea through to 2021, simultaneously completing a season-long loan move to Charlton Atletic, where he had previously been loaned to during the latter half of the 2016-17 season.[37]
