The transfer window is beckoning and Chelsea are set to be active if the days following the end of the season are anything to go by. The Blues have Mauricio Pochettino set to arrive in time for pre-season and have work to do to ensure they have a squad that is to his liking.
Much has been made of the size of the west London side's group, while Frank Lampard made a stark revelation that too many players saw their future elsewhere or were disillusioned with their spot. There is no question Chelsea need to reduce their numbers and that is before the return of large loan army contingent.
Mason Mount has dominated headlines following the final day of the Premier League season, while Ruben Loftus-Cheek's farewell against Newcastle leaves an easy decision to be made on him. However, with the suggestion Pochettino wants to build around an English core, some difficult decisions await with the likes of Conor Gallagher and Trevoh Chalobah linked to departures, in addition to Mateo Kovacic.
