Mauricio Pochettino must win £40m transfer race to complete perfect plan for Chelsea undroppable

Chelsea have thus far only confirmed two incoming transfers for the summer window, but in reality, a third has already been completed.

Christopher Nkunku and Kendry Paez are the two stars announced, but neither can really be considered as recent acquisitions. The signing of Nkunku was revealed on Tuesday but the pre-contract agreement for his move was finalised in December, whereas Paez will only join the club once he turns 18 which will see him officially arrive in the summer of 2025.

As mentioned above there is a third signing, or it will at least feel like one with Levi Colwill set for a prominent role in Mauricio Pochettino's first-team plans. The 20-year-old was on loan at Brighton last season and his performances were superb, so much so that the Seagulls submitted two bids to try and bring him back on a permanent basis.
