Chelsea director hints at first Mauricio Pochettino transfer amid £70m Arsenal warning

The importance of Chelsea's summer transfer business is very clear with a mass sale needed and top quality but minimal additions likely. As football.london reported earlier this month, Mauricio Pochettino will become the next manager of the club and he looks to already be having a significant impact in early talks that are taking place prior to the opening of the summer window.

Andre Onana, Romeo Lavia and Manuel Ugarte have all been scouted thoroughly as the club prepare to likely sign a new central midfielder, goalkeeper and striker, at the very least. There is no real priority position out of that trio of roles as all three need further additions, and world class ones at that.

At the top end of the pitch, Victor Osimhen is the priority for the Blues, according to Sky Germany. While the candidates to fill the deep-lying midfield role appear to have been narrowed down to Lavia, Ugarte, Declan Rice and Moises Caicedo.
