Mauricio Pochettino has the opportunity to complete a four-year transfer mission this sumer. But for a different club than he first set out to achieve the deal.
The Argentinian was introduced to the media on Friday afternoon during his first press conference as the new Chelsea head coach. He is already getting to work on the training field with the players who have reported back for pre-season so far, with international stars due to return in the coming week.
This will be Pochettino's second stint in the Premier League, having enjoyed five and a half years as Tottenham boss from 2014 to 2019. And it was towards the end of that Spurs spell that Pochettino came close to a signing he could now complete at Stamford Bridge.
