The squad size of Premier League club Chelsea has become a significant talking point, particularly since Todd Boehly's takeover.

The West London club has been on a signing spree, despite having little to show for it in terms of positive results.

According to data from FotMob, Chelsea currently boasts a squad of over 40 players, a figure that is likely causing concern for manager Enzo Maresca.

As the club's hierarchy deliberates on how to trim down the squad with the new season underway, other clubs seem to be finding humour in Chelsea's predicament.

In a video shared on social media, the Swiss club humorously depicted a man attempting to open a drawer.

As he pulled it open, an unusually long tray filled with files—each labelled with the name of a Chelsea player—popped out.

The tray was so lengthy that it eventually knocked over the person representing Servette. The amusing video has since gone viral, sparking widespread reactions among fans.

Meanwhile, Chelsea and manager Maresca are eager to trim down their bloated squad, especially as the new football season intensifies.
