Chelsea will announce a record annual profit of around £20million — paving the way for Jose Mourinho to further strengthen his squad in January.
The current Premier League leaders will report a turnover of £325m for the year up to June 30, and will comfortably pass UEFA’s Financial Fair Play (FFP) test thanks to the funds brought in by the sale of Juan Mata and David Luiz, plus their share of the new £1bn television deal.
The financial results are further proof of Chelsea’s emergence as British football’s leading club on and off the pitch, confounding the belief that years of wild spending under Roman Abramovich would backfire.
Chelsea are making progress without having to rely on the wealth of their billionaire Russian owner, and the cash bounty could enable Mourinho to bring in new recruits when the transfer window re-opens in order to cement what is already looking like becoming a successful title challenge.

Petr Cech says Chelsea will decide his future
“Everyone is asking me what if and what will happen. As a player, who has two years left on his contract, I cannot make the choice.
“It is simple. If the club says, ‘You are staying here’, then I will be staying. That’s why I’m staying.
“I can only leave if the club lets me go. And that is not the case.
“As a player with a two-year contract, I have absolutely no chance of influencing the wishes of the club.
“I am doing my best to change the situation. I want to play as often as possible and be prepared to be as good as possible for the fixtures what will come in the new year.
“To try and perform at my best is the only thing I can do.”
