Mauricio Pochettino given alarming Chelsea transfer message after Todd Boehly's £232.3m decision

Paul Scholes has told Mauricio Pochettino the five positions in Chelsea's team that need strengthening ahead of the summer transfer window. The Blues are expected to conduct significant business in the upcoming trading period by making some marquee signings and sanctioning several outgoings to help balance the bloated squad.

Adding a natural striker, world class goalkeeper and a perfect midfield partner for Enzo Fernandez are the positions being looked at, alongside the requirements any target will have to fill. Victor Osimhen, Randal Kolo Muani and Dusan Vlahovic are some of the options in attack, with Andre Onana, David Raya and Gregor Kobel the keeper options.

As for central midfielders, Moises Caicedo, Declan Rice, Manuel Ugarte and Romeo Lavia have all been scouted by the Blues. Despite the need for further additions in the aforementioned positions, Scholes believes it is in defence where signings are necessary.
