Chelsea manager Graham Potter said the length of contracts being handed to their new signings carries an element of risk but he supports the club's strategy.

English clubs have rarely handed players deals longer than six years but it is common in U.S. sports where Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly owns a stake in Major League Baseball's Los Angeles Dodgers. "The players we identified are young, they've got quality. With Mudryk and Joao coming on loan there's a certain type of player in terms of age. They are starting their careers so they are ambitious ... they're here to win and compete.

Chelsea have had trouble moving expensive players on, their record 97.5 million pounds signing of Romelu Lukaku being the latest example after the unhappy striker returned to Inter Milan on loan.
