Next season, CHELSEA is expected to have a lot of firepower, which might make them a title contender. 

SunSport has exclusively revealed that the Blues are planning a £105 million double swoop for Raheem Sterling and Raphinha.

This summer, Thomas Tuchel should receive the goods from new owner Todd Boehly, with Leeds' Brazilian star expected to be the first to arrive for £55 million. 
How Chelsea might lineup for the upcoming season

Sterling from Manchester City might then follow for a further £50 million, and both players are set to enter Tuchel's starting lineup right away. 

Raphinha, Sterling, and Kai Havertz forming a forward three will undoubtedly make Premier League defenders dread traveling to Stamford Bridge. 

Mason Mount might be forced to play in the middle alongside N'Golo Kante as a result of the double acquisition.

After Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen left, additional help is also anticipated at the back. 

For months, West London has been heavily linked to Jules Kounde, and according to some reports, the Frenchman has already agreed to personal terms with the Blues. 

Kalidou Koulibaly, a defender for Napoli, has apparently also been added to Tuchel's short list. 

The two prospective new recruits might turn Chelsea into a team that can contend for the title in both offense and defense.

In front of Edouard Mendy in goal, the seasoned Thiago Silva is anticipated to continue to hold the defense while Ben Chilwell, who is back, and the talented Reece James will charge down the sides. 

As an alternative, Juventus center-back Matthijs de Ligt has also been mentioned in connection with the Blues. 

However, Sky in Italy reports that they have no plans to fulfill De Ligt's £103 million release clause. 

Trevoh Chalobah, an academy graduate, might play more frequently in defense if the transfers for Raphinha and Sterling consume most of Chelsea's summer funds.

However, it is reported that the new owner, Boehly, has given the go-ahead for up to SIX signings before the end of the transfer season and is willing to spend £200 million. 

If the American entrepreneur has his way, Tuchel will have a team that is more than capable of competing against Manchester City and Liverpool.
