Chelsea are not letting the summer transfer window slide without making a real attempt to bolster their squad in the right areas. Not only have they made much needed progress on selling some of their stars, they have already sounded out key targets to bring in.
Ahead of what promises to be one of the most important and interesting windows in the club's recent history, there is a mountain of work to be done by Mauricio Pochettino. He is coming into the club with a 32-man squad to cut down as well as returning loanees, club-record buys to sort out and new additions to make.
It is quite the task for the Argentine given that attention is sure to be on him from the start. Before even he has officially started on July 1, he could be as many as five midfielders down. N'Golo Kante is set to leave for a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia when his deal ends at the end of June.
