Chelsea are set for a very busy summer as they look to prepare a squad ready for Mauricio Pochettino's arrival. The Blues have been bloated in 2023 and that led to a number of issues for both Graham Potter and Frank Lampard in the latter half of the Premier League season.
The likes of Mateo Kovacic, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and N'Golo Kante all look set to depart the club while there is an expectation that Conor Gallagher will also leave Stamford Bridge. With Jorginho having already joined Arsenal in January, the Blues midfield could be overhauled from where it was 12 months ago.
Chelsea's owners vowed to transform the club's playing staff around elite talent earlier this week and will be forced to deliver to ensure the Blues improve upon their 12th-placed position last term. After a mixed bag of signings in their first 12 months following the takeover, the pressure will be on Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley to deliver.
