Deadline day in England, Germany, Spain, France and Italy was on Monday, while the windows in Portugal and the Netherlands shut on Tuesday. Domestic deals between Premier League and EFL clubs can still take place until October 16, and a handful of other leagues’ windows remain open, including Russia and Switzerland. Here we list all the comings and goings for our professional players...

Ziyech and Werner arrive

Chelsea completed deals for Hakim Ziyech in February, and Timo Werner in June. That duo were the first to arrive at Cobham, beginning training in July.

Chilwell and Thiago Silva bolster defence

Our first confirmed signings during the transfer window were a trio of new defenders, Ben Chilwell, Malang Sarr and Thiago Silva. Chilwell joined from Leicester, and Thiago Silva following his release from PSG having not long prior captained them in the Champions League final.

Sarr, meanwhile, was also a free agent and has since departed on loan to Porto.

Havertz and Mendy complete signing picture

Kai Havertz was our next confirmed transfer. The German star joined from Bayer Leverkusen in the first week of September.

Our final signing prior to the close of the Premier League window was Edouard Mendy, the Senegalese goalkeeper who arrived from Rennes in Ligue 1.

Pedro and Willian bid farewell

In August we said goodbye to two wingers who served the Blues with great distinction, Pedro and Willian, following the expiry of their contracts. The Spaniard joined Roma on a free contract, while Willian headed to north London and Arsenal.
