Chelsea's Pochettino plan revealed, Osimhen transfer interest and new goalkeeper
During a Q&A session with football.london's Chelsea writer Bobby Vincent, the topic of Chelsea's transfer plans and potential managerial changes was discussed. Bobby stated that a striker is at the top of the club's agenda this summer, as evident from their recent game against Brentford, where no central strikers were present. He mentioned that Christopher Nkunku is set to join the team, but it's not clear where he'll be predominantly played. Victor Osimhen is reportedly one of the numerous names being considered to fill the striker position.
Bobby also stated that he doesn't expect the club to be as busy in terms of incoming transfers as they have been in the past two transfer windows, as such a pattern is unsustainable. However, the club is expected to see a lot of outgoings, with many players entering the final year or two years of their contracts.
In response to a question about Graham Potter, who was a former coach at Chelsea's academy, Bobby stated that it's not clear if letting him go was the right decision. However, he mentioned that a less-than-ideal manager is better for squad stability than constant change. He didn't comment further on Potter's current status.
In terms of potential managerial changes, Bobby hinted that Mauricio Pochettino could be a candidate to replace current Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel in the future. Bobby revealed that there have been discussions about the possibility of Pochettino taking over the role in the long term, but it's not clear when this could happen.
Finally, Bobby mentioned that Chelsea is also looking to sign a new goalkeeper, as doubts surround the future of current goalkeepers Edouard Mendy and Kepa Arrizabalaga. However, he did not provide any specific names of potential candidates for the position.
Overall, the Q&A session provided some insights into Chelsea's transfer plans and potential managerial changes. It's clear that the club is prioritizing the striker position and is looking to make a few significant changes to the squad, although they may not be as busy as in previous transfer windows.
