Mauricio Pochettino has revealed that some players are looking to leave Stamford Bridge as he prepares for a summer of business.
With the current season just a few days away, all eyes are on the upcoming transfer window. Chelsea are expected to be involved again in the deal this summer, with the players set to join and leave Mauricio Pochettino's side. The Argentine boss has already started thinking about his transfer plans and will take the missing players into account in his blueprint.
At the moment, just four players have been left out, a figure that marks the Blues' smallest injury list since the start of the season. However, the club have recently been forced to deal with some serious illnesses, with Romeo Lavia having played just one game since his £55million transfer, while Wesley Fofana, who joined in 2022, has yet to make an appearance for the club this season.
Pochettino has already considered these issues and would consider keeping the player at the club if possible. Commenting on his summer plans, the Blues boss said: "Now is going to start a period when players want to leave, maybe there will be some offers coming in or players we want to join. Of course, we're already working on that. ”。
"Take Romeo Lavia, Christopher Nkunku and Reece James as examples. We need to pay attention to the possibility of providing them with health. Now, it's not just a challenge to get them healthy now, it's the way we've managed it all season so that there are no more setbacks. Of course, in football, you always have to take some risks, but they have the ability to take some risks. ”。“ [Fofana] did a great job, very positive, we spoke yesterday and hopefully he can be part of the team. ”
With just two games left this season, Chelsea are currently seventh in the table, behind Newcastle United on goal difference alone. The first game will be against Brighton & Hove Albion on Wednesday night before hosting Bournemouth on the final day of the weekend.
