“Chelsea’s Future: Pochettino, Transfers, and Key Positions to Target”

It is often said that a new president benefits in the eyes of public opinion from the first 100 days of grace where hopes and promises reach their peak. And the faithful of Stamford Bridge first believed in a miracle given the expensive means allocated to the transfer windows: 282 million euros last summer then 329 this winter. Dizzying figures which prove, once again, that football has nothing to do with Football Manager, and that money is not (always) everything. Next season, the American owner cannot be missed. And this will necessarily go through several stages.

Pochettino will have to agree to go to the clash

It is an open secret. Unemployed since his ousting from PSG a year ago, Mauricio Pochettino will return to the English capital four years after his departure from Tottenham. After his failure at PSG, the Argentinian is now playing his reputation. He will have to succeed where three coaches have failed this year. If Boehly has proven with Potter that he was patient, not like with Tuchel, Pochettino will have to agree to clash with his whimsical president and his controversial choices. In this sense, the former midfielder would already be working on the contours of the team to be able to benefit from free rein.

Key positions to target

We can therefore have spent 610 million and still have to strengthen ourselves. Beyond the skimming to be carried out to rebalance the core, Chelsea will have to find a goalkeeper. Neither Kepa nor Mendy convinced and the name of André Onana appeared. It will be necessary to put the hand in the pocket to convince Inter Milan but it is not a problem, especially if Kovacic is part of the deal.

A number 9 is also essential. Havertz, Felix, Sterling and Aubameyang all embodied disappointment. You have to go back to the 23rd rank of the top scorers in the championship to find a Blues. Havertz and his seven goals are worse than Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace). Unnatural. The solution of the center forward could be found. Pochettino would absolutely like to repatriate Lukaku. It remains to be seen whether “Big Rom” will accept. The end of the Inter season, marked by the Champions League final (June 10 against City) could have its importance in the choice of the Belgian. For Chelsea, it would be the last opportunity to finally see Lukaku shine in the blue jersey.
