Mauricio Pochettino's list of problems he must solve at Chelsea must feel as though it continues to increase with each passing hour. The Blues finished the 2022/23 Premier League in the bottom half of the table with four different managers taking charge at various points and therefore solving the lack of cohesion on the pitch will be one of Pochettino's priorities.
But first he must navigate the summer transfer window which looks set to be a busy one at Stamford Bridge. Sporting CP midfielder Manuel Ugarte appeared on the verge of a move to Chelsea before that deal fell apart courtesy of Paris Saint Germain's lucrative wage offer trumping the one sent in from west London.
Nonetheless, Chelsea had other midfield targets they soon became focused on. Moises Caicedo appears to be the main target and a source has told football.london that Chelsea are confident they can strike a deal with Brighton for the Ecuador international this summer.
