It is set to take Todd Boehly’s Stamford Bridge spending to almost £1BILLION since replacing Roman Abramovich in May 2022.

The American has twice smashed the Premier League record transfer fee, spending £107m on Enzo Fernandez and then £115m for Moises Caicedo.

But according to The Athletic, Boehly is introducing a new wage system.

It will see younger players offered lower base salaries with performance incentive bonuses.

They say James Ward-Prowse – who has signed for West Ham – will be on higher wages than Lavia.

Chelsea’s summer of spending does not appear to be coming to an end.

The West Londoners have activated the £35m release clause in Michael Olise’s Crystal Palace contract.

The French Under-21 international has been linked with Manchester City and Arsenal.

But the Blues were the first to make a move for the forward, who spent time with Chelsea’s youth setup as a youngster.

Olise is currently out with a hamstring injury sustained during the U21 European Championship.

It could sideline him until the end of September.
