Pochettino will be Chelsea’s fourth manager in a year, with new co-owner Todd Boehly already axing Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter, before naming Frank Lampard on an interim basis.
Club legend Lampard is expected to see out the season, despite so far losing all four matches upon his return to the dugout.in need of trimming after their new ownership spent a record £600million in a single campaign.Despite the jaw-dropping investment, there are somehow still clear gaps in the squad too, which Pochettino will look to fill.
Chelsea have the fifth fewest goals in the Premier League, with 30 in 31 games, despite spending more than £200m on forward recruits under Boehly.
In the number six position, or defensive midfield, Chelsea have already broken the English transfer fee record to sign Enzo Fernandez from Benfica for £107m, but look set to lose N’Golo Kante with his contract expiring. The Blues are expected to be in the running for Borussia Dortmund’s Jude Bellingham, while West Ham’s Declan Rice continues to be linked.
