Mauricio Pochettino gets five-word reminder from Chelsea solution to £100m transfer problem

  /  autty

Chelsea are expected to bring in four additions in three key positions this summer under Mauricio Pochettino alongside sanctioning a mass squad clear out

Exits for Mateo Kovacic, N'Golo Kante and Ruben Loftus-Cheek have ramped up considerably in the last few weeks, while there is an expectation that fellow midfielder Conor Gallagher will also depart, as football.london understands. Therefore, signing at least two new central midfielders is a priority for Pochettino with Brighton's Moises Caicedo and Southampton star Romeo Lavia currently appearing as the two most likely to join.

In between the posts, Inter goalkeeper Andre Onana has been the recipient of some informal offers from Stamford Bridge with another likely to arrive during the meeting set between the two parties to discuss Romelu Lukaku. The Belgian striker will return to west London after the Champions League final where he will speak with Pochettino a where he will speak about his future, but the Chelsea boss already has his answer to Lukaku.

Armando Broja has missed the last six months with a long-term injury after damaging his anterior cruciate ligament in a clash with Aston Villa following the conclusion of the World Cup. However, his rehabilitation is going very well and it could see him back involved sooner than expected.

On Instagram, Broja posted a picture of himself working in the gym with the caption, "can't wait to be back *praying hands emoji*.

That message from the 21-year-old has arrived at the perfect time with Chelsea likely to head into the market for a new striker.

Napoli's Victor Osimhen and Inter forward Lautaro Martinez are both on the radar of Chelsea, but they face competition from Bayern Munich and Real Madrid respectively for their signatures. Given the impressive Serie A campaigns for both, a high asking price is practically a guarantee which could result in Chelsea choosing to go elsewhere.
