This season has been tragic and embarrassing for Chelsea. The west London club have been lousy all season and they will have their worst points in a single Premier League season at the end of this season, making this the worst of all. 20 years.
As the summer transfer window approaches and into next season, Chelsea will have a lot of work to do, starting with appointing a new coach, removing some players and then signing players. new for several key areas of the team.
While that sounds easy on paper, it certainly isn't, especially since Chelsea haven't really had anything positive this season. However, it's not all bad news for the west London club as the new manager is able to dismiss his worries. Despite Chelsea's poor performance this season, the West London team's defense is quite impressive. Chelsea have the best defensive record of the Premier League season, behind only Newcastle United and Premier League champions Manchester City.
Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has been relentless in front of goal this season, scoring in consecutive games, but Chelsea are the first club Erling Haaland has failed to score in the Premier League this season.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta
Recent reports have claimed that AC Milan are considering a move for an Arsenal star who has been in fine form this season while on loan.
Folarin Balogun has enjoyed a fantastic loan spell with Reims in Ligue 1. The 21-year-old has scored 20 league goals and enjoyed his most prolific season yet.
With an average goal every 141 minutes, it's easy to see why so many clubs are interested. Arsenal will have to decide whether to capitalize on Balogun or include him in the squad next season. The youngster has even been linked with a move to West Ham, as the Gunners look to fund a deal for Declan Rice.
Balogun will have no shortage of offers if Arsenal decide to sell him this summer. AC Milan is the latest club to express an interest in the striker.
According to Football Italia, Milan are preparing to open negotiations with their agent. Given their attacking options, it's no surprise that Milan are chasing a young striker. The Italian club have relied heavily on 36-year-old Olivier Giroud. The former Arsenal striker has scored 16 goals, but Milan are interested in a younger replacement.
Along with Milan, German side RB Leipzig have also been linked with a move to Balogun. Arsenal are said to be looking for more than £26m to sell him this summer.
His contract with the Gunners runs until 2025 so now could be the perfect time to cash in. Mikel Arteta has a big decision to make
Balogun's numbers have been impressive in Ligue 1 but it remains to be seen if he can surpass it in the Premier League. It should also be noted that former Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette has scored 26 goals in France this season.
Arsenal need another striker and Balogun could be the answer Arteta is looking for. Gabriel Jesus is a popular addition, but he's not considered an absolute goalscorer.
Paul Merson recently discussed Arsenal needing a new striker with GiveMeSport. This expert explained: “Arsenal need a striker. “They need someone who will score them 25 goals per season.
"I'm not going to try Gabriel Jesus, he's a very good player and a great signing, but he's not going to give you the goals you need on his own.
“They are unpredictable. Every goal they score is a 'delicious' goal. They must be able to score dangerous goals.
Balogun will give Arsenal a different dynamic than Jesus. The 21-year-old tends to shoot more than Jesus and is perhaps more of a traditional striker.
With the addition of the Champions League to their calendar next season, Arteta will want to strengthen his squad at the top of the pitch.
Although they ended up losing the Premier League title, there is no doubt that this young team is on the right track.
