Thomas Tuchel 'will receive £200million to spend on new players this summer' after Todd Boehly's £4.25billion takeover of Chelsea was finally approved.
The Stamford Bridge club's new American ownership wish to make a clear statement of their intention to challenge Manchester City and Liverpool for major honours in the years ahead.
The Boehly-led consortium also want to draw a line under Roman Abramovich's ownership, which came to an end after he was sanctioned by the UK government following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Chelsea finished third in the final Premier League standings - 19 points adrift of champions City and 18 behind Liverpool - but reached the final of both domestic cup competitions.
