Chelsea integrates squad players following end of summer transfer window
Summary

Chelsea enters the current season with several players who did not secure transfers before the summer window closed. The club is moving forward with Aaron Anselmino as part of the first-team squad after his planned departure failed to materialize. Meanwhile, Gaga Slonina remains at the club to compete with Teddy Sharman-Lowe for the third-choice goalkeeper position. The club has also turned its attention to the development of Kendry Paez, whose loan to River Plate was terminated without a secondary deal. Chelsea officials intend to focus on integrating the 19-year-old midfielder and improving his performance standards during his time at the training ground. While the club successfully offloaded other defenders like Benoit Badiashile, these three players will remain in London as the squad settles into its new composition for the campaign ahead.
