The American owner has forked out over £1billion in transfer fees since taking charge just over a year ago.
The 49-year-old splashed over £300m for the third straight window in the summer.

And the comments seem to be a huge hit with the Chelsea fanbase.
One supporter wrote: “Todd knows what he is doing and we just need to have faith in him.”
A second added: “If you study their plan, it is purely a long term ownership to transform the club.”
While a third said: “I trust the process.”
Chelsea’s deal with the sports tech company is believed to be worth around £40million.
The company is an AI statistics provider and it works with broadcasters and streaming services with live information on player statistics.
Boehly also wants to add two giant lion sculptures, as displayed on Chelsea’s badge, outside of the ground that will cost around £2m.
