A key feature of Chelsea under the new ownership is how they have not been scared to part ways with a number of players in order to make pure profit.
PSR rules are seriously impacting the transfer plans of numerous Premier League clubs, and the Blues have constantly looked for individuals to sell who will boost their ability to do business.
Selling homegrown players is an ideal way of getting pure profit on the books, and is perhaps behind the club selling Mason Mount to Manchester United despite a fine career at Stamford Bridge.
There was also a real effort made to push Trevoh Chalobah out the door, with him even being banned from first team training at a point to push through a sale.
The irony of the situation is that the Cobham graduate is now a key player at the club under Enzo Maresca after being recalled amid an injury crisis.
Chelsea loanee Bashir Humphreys helping Burnley to two league defensive records
Another defender they were happy to let go is Bashir Humphreys. The 21-year-old has just two appearances to his name in a Chelsea shirt.
The Englishman left on loan last summer, however the deal will be made permanent at the end of the season for a fee worth £15m.
To many that may have seemed a good deal made by those in charge at the club, however he has gone on to be part of what could be a legendary season with his new club, Burnley.
Humphreys has been a regular in the side this season, making 28 appearances in all competitions. It is the Championship where they have been most impressive though, particularly at the back.
The current record for most clean sheets in a full EFL season is 27, with Burnley just three away from matching that total.
They have also conceded a ridiculously low amount of goals in general. The Clarets have shipped just nine goals this season, with the current record for a Championship side being 30.
Humphreys starring in three positions under former Chelsea player
Humphreys has had the opportunity to work under Scott Parker at Turf Moor, who was a midfielder at Chelsea for 18 months before leaving in 2005.
The English manager has seemed to get a tune out of Humphreys in a number of roles. He has played as centre-back, right-back and left-back.
Chelsea’s defensive woes are clear to see right now at Stamford Bridge. Levi Colwill is struggling with form of late.
The club may have benefitted from the youngster as an option to provide cover across the backline. Instead, the Blues pushed for pure profit, and are going to permanently say goodbye to Humphreys at the end of the season.
