Chelsea ’s summer transfer business was extensive, and ended in remarkable circumstances. As Enzo Fernandez left in record-equalling deal, Monaco backed out of a written agreement to sell Lamine Camara as the summer window closed.

Here, Standard Sport assesses whether the window was a success or a failure...
