Chelsea are braced for a huge turnover of players this summer, with Mauricio Pochettino’s arrival set to spark a much-needed overhaul of the squad.
The Blues finished 12th in the Premier League this season after taking just 44 points from 38 games – their lowest total since the 1987/88 campaign, when they were relegated from the top flight. After going through Thomas Tuchel, Graham Potter and Frank Lampard, the club have now landed on Pochettino, who will take over from July 1.
It’s now been a year since Todd Boehly’s consortium bought the club from Roman Abramovich and their spell so far has been defined by huge expenditure for little return. Around £600million has been spent on transfers, with few – if any – truly looking like good business.
