Transfer: Chelsea’s acquisition of Caicedo is expected to push them over Arsenal in terms of spending

As the league’s top spender throughout this window, Chelsea is poised to surpass Arsenal.

The anticipated $115 million acquisition of Moises Caicedo by the Blues will bring their spending binge total to £285.9 million.

The Blues have also brought in Angelo Gabriel, Ishe Samuels-Smith, Diego Moreira, Alex Matos, and Axel Disasi this summer, all for undisclosed sums of money. Nicolas Jackson, Robert Sanchez, Lesley Ugochukwu, and Axel Disasi have all cost the club more than £20 million.

With a 1-1 draw against Liverpool at home to start the season, Chelsea, now under the management of Mauricio Pochettino, started the season.

After Luis Diaz had given the Reds the lead in the first half, Disasi, a new player, scampered in the equaliser.
