Incoming Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino wants to sign a new striker as he looks to reshape his squad ahead of the 2023/24 campaign. football.london understands a new goalkeeper and central midfielder are among the Blues' priorities this summer.
Kai Havertz struggled to lead the line during a dismal season for Chelsea as they recorded their worst points haul since the 1977/78 campaign - finishing 12th on 44 points. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is expected to leave the club this summer whilst Pochettino has opted not to bring Joao Felix back in on loan next term, with the Portuguese forward returning to Atletico Madrid.
football.london reported last year that Christopher Nkunku has signed a pre-contract agreement with the Blues and will complete a move to Stamford Bridge this summer. The Frenchman has operated as a No.9 for RB Leipzig and picked up the Bundesliga Golden Boot award after scoring 16 goals - but Pochettino still wants a new striker to start in attack.
