WHAT HAPPENED? The arrival of Pochettino at Stamford Bridge is imminent, and Blues owner Boehly is ready add to the 17 signings he has already made since buying the club in May 2022. The Daily Mail have released a list of apparent targets Chelsea have outlined for the Argentine manager, with a goalkeeper, midfielder and striker the priorities.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: World Cup hero Emiliano Martinez heads up the list of goalkeeping targets, while West Ham's Declan Rice and Brighton's Alexis Mac Allister are said to be the priorities in midfield. Inter striker Lautaro Martinez is likely to be the focus up-front, however, like most of Europe, Chelsea admire Napoli frontman Victor Osimhen.

AND WHAT'S MORE: Chelsea have already completed the signing of Red Bull Leipzig danger-man Christopher Nkunku for £68 million ($84.7m), but nothing has been confirmed by any parties involved yet. Incoming Pochettino is also said to want to work with Mason Mount, with the midfielder widely tipped to leave the Blues this summer.
