Mauricio Pochettino picks £130m striker as top Chelsea transfer target to solve major issue

Chelsea's campaign has regularly shown where the side are failing so far as a high player turnover and change on and off the field have made for a tough environment. After a campaign that'll see the Blues finish mid-table in the Premier League, the next appointment of a head coach from Boehly-Clearlake has to be the right one.

football.london understands a deal has been agreed with Mauricio Pochettino to become the next manager, taking over from Frank Lampard's interim duties. The former midfielder will likely have plenty of wisdom from the squad he can impart to the arriving boss, with goal scoring becoming one clear and obvious issue.

"Work on the training pitch," Lampard said was the key to turning things around in the final third. "When I consider the work that we do, we work a lot in the last third, in terms of finishing and crosses, and the idea of how we want to get in the box. The last bit is sometimes confidence. Whether it's an individual thing or team confidence. I think I'd come back to the work side of it. If you work and keep going, something can change."
