Mauricio Pochettino will prioritise the signing of a goalkeeper in the summer transfer window once he is finally in place as the new Chelsea manager.
Pochettino will be announced as the next Blues boss this week after reaching an agreement with the club’s co-owners, Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali. The protracted talks, which will see him take over from Frank Lampard at the end of the season, have given the former Tottenham manager plenty of time to consider his next steps once he is through the door at Cobham.
The obvious first step is to oversee a complete overhaul of the squad, with the club having stockpiled a vast number of players. Pochettino is known to favour working with a small, tight-knit squad, with his best season at Spurs coming with a 24-man roster.
