Mauricio Pochettino has revealed he will have an increased say in Chelsea’s transfer business from January with two strikers said to be on the Blues’ shortlist.
The Blues’ focus was on signing young players in the summer – a policy which has thus far failed to yield results in the Premier League – but the Guardian claim the club is now ‘open to signing more experienced players for Pochettino’. “The good thing is the relationship and communication is very good with the sporting directors and owners,” Pochettino said. “When the transfer window was closed I said I need to be more involved now in all the decisions. I have started to work to identify what we need for January.”
“Football is very dynamic and it is about the present always,” Pochettino said. “Things can change until January. We need to work to recover Nkunku and Armando Broja to try to provide the team with more goals and become solid. But, of course, we have already started to work [on transfers].”
