Chelsea could field a very different attack next season as Mauricio Pochettino prepares to officially join as manager on July 1. The Argentine has signed a two-year contract - with the option of a further year.
Pochettino wants to sign a new striker, central midfielder and goalkeeper as he looks to add more quality to the spine of the team, football.london understands. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is expected to leave the club, whilst Mateo Kovacic is in talks over a shock transfer to Premier League champions Manchester City.
football.london reported last year that RB Leipzig star Christopher Nkunku has signed a pre-contract agreement to join Chelsea this summer. The Frenchman picked up the Bundesliga Golden Boot award after scoring 16 goals this season and has operated as a No.9 during his time in Germany.
