The west London giants have had a dreadful Premier League campaign, picking up just 49 points from 36 matches.<\/p>\n

The Blues have recently appointed Alonso as their new manager from the summer, and there could be some big changes.<\/p>\n

The Mirror claim that the Spanish tactician is eyeing big-money signings over emerging talents who may need time to develop.<\/p>\n

The hierarchy are expected to back him in the quest and will provide upto\u00a0\u00a3325 million to make six marquee purchases.<\/p>\n

Chelsea could be active on either side of the World Cup. They could announce a deal or two before the global tournament.<\/p>\n

The incoming spending spree is also expected to coincide with several exits. A number of defenders could be shown the exit door.<\/p>\n

Tosin Adarabioyo<\/span><\/span>, Benoit Badiashile<\/span><\/span> and Axel Disasi<\/span><\/span> are among centre-backs, who could be told to pursue new clubs this summer.
