Mauricio Pochettino has said that it would be crazy for him not to take an active role in Chelsea’s recruitment strategy during the January transfer window.

The Stamford Bridge club’s signings are overseen by the sporting directors, Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley, with input from the co-director of recruitment and talent, Joe Shields. Behdad Eghbali, the co-owner, has also been a prominent figure during recent windows.
