Mauricio Pochettino's priority at Chelsea this summer will be strengthening his midfield, and he appears to have settled on Brighton's Moises Caicedo and Sporting CP's Manuel Ugarte as top targets in a double swoop that could cost as much as £132 million.
The Argentine arrives at the club officially on July 1, where he will adopt seven outright midfield players. Of those seven, Conor Gallagher, Mason Mount, Mateo Kovacic and Ruben Loftus-Chee have been the focus of intense speculation about moves elsewhere, N'Golo Kante falls into the over-30s bracket, and Carney Chukwuemeka is still only a teenager.
This leaves only Enzo Fernandez unaccounted for, so it would be wise for Pochettino to consider fresh legs first and foremost in this area of the squad.
