Although no official announcement has been made, Mauricio Pochettino is likely keeping a very close eye over several Chelsea players ahead of his arrival. As football.london reported earlier this month, the former Tottenham boss has agreed to become the next Blues manager with July 1 set as the date his tenure officially begins.
In just over a week it will be the one-year anniversary of Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital taking over Chelsea and to say it's been a difficult first 12 months for the co-owner would be a significant understatement. The sacking of Thomas Tuchel left many bemused and the failure of his successor Graham Potter brought more questions with the interim appointment of Frank Lampard the final nail in the coffin of many for the 2022/23 season.
However, the arrival of Pochettino presents a chance to start afresh both on the pitch and off the pitch. Regarding the latter, it will be another crucial summer for transfers with numerous stars expected to depart along with the club also being intent on adding depth to a number of positions with new arrivals.
