Chelsea can complete a trio of transfers this summer that would hand Mauricio Pochettino a much needed boost after a turbulent start to the window. Although the official period for deals only opened on June 14, still two weeks before Pochettino himself gets down to formal work, plenty has happened.
The club have been fielding talks, arranging meetings and cementing their stance across the continent to prospective buyers and sellers. It has been a typically Chelsea start to a window that holds more importance than many others in recent years.
With a mass exodus of first team stars expected, it is the outgoings that have attracted more interest than incomings so far. Chelsea are keen to sell as many players as possible before June 30 to best shape their financial figures for the 2022/23 period after a hefty spend that only resulted in an embarrassing league finish.
