'Inevitable' £30m transfer to leave Mauricio Pochettino with familiar Chelsea problem

The transfer window is truly hotting up for Chelsea with a number of players set to follow in N'Golo Kante's footsteps to depart from Stamford Bridge. The Blues are making their efforts to trim down their squad that was oversubscribed in the latter half of the season and appear to be finding some success in moving on players where they have previously failed.

However, having spent in the region of £600 million in the last 12 months and beginning to recoup some of that figure, Chelsea do have ambitions of bringing players into the club too. Moises Caicedo has long been a priority, while there is also interest in Romeo Lavia in the centre of midfield.

That said, Chelsea have been looking for a goalscorer for a number of seasons. Having struggled to find a goalscorer to rely upon, Chelsea saw Olivier Giroud and Tammy Abaraham depart in 2021 before the arrival of Romelu Lukaku in the same summer and Pierre-Emerick Aubamyang in 2022. It's safe to say neither truly kicked on and, in an ideal world, the duo would be sold in the coming weeks.
