Mauricio Pochettino faces tough Chelsea reality after embarrassing Erling Haaland statistic

Chelsea's search for a new manager appears to have landed upon former Tottenham man Mauricio Pochettino ahead of the end of the season. The ex-PSG manager could succeed Graham Potter at Stamford Bridge, but has the task of picking up a squad that is performing far below par.

The Blues sit 12th in the Premier League, despite new owners Boehly-Clearlake spending roughly £600million in their two transfer window so far. Frank Lampard is in interim charge until the end of the campaign, but without a win since his return, the job will be setting things up for the next manager.

There will be a whole host of issues for them to solve once they are appointed, with the balance of the squad needing to be shifted in the transfer window. However, one of the other concerns will be over Chelsea's ability to score goals or perhaps their lack of them that is a worry.
