Mauricio Pochettino Urges Chelsea to Strengthen in ‘All Areas’
Mauricio Pochettino has urged Chelsea to strengthen their squad in ‘all areas’ before the transfer window closes. The Blues have already offloaded £250m worth of talent this summer, but the club are still desperate to trim their squad after spending £600m in the previous two windows.
While Pochettino remains determined to trim the squad even further, he wants to strengthen the spine of the team. The club have had two bids turned down by Brighton for Moises Caicedo, with the Seagulls holding out for £100m.

Asked specifically about strengthening in midfield, Pochettino said: ‘No, I told you that we need to improve in all the areas’. ‘I am happy with the midfield but we also need to improve this area.’
The Argentine manager is eager to strengthen all areas of the squad, and is hoping that the club can bring in some new faces before the window closes. With the Blues already spending big in the past two windows, it remains to be seen if they will be willing to splash out again.
Chelsea’s Transfer Window So Far
Chelsea have already made some big moves in the transfer window, with Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech, Ben Chilwell, Thiago Silva and Malang Sarr all joining the club. The Blues have also offloaded a number of players, with Olivier Giroud, Pedro, Willian and Michy Batshuayi all leaving the club.
The club are also looking to offload a number of other players, including Jorginho, Marcos Alonso and Emerson Palmieri. With the club looking to trim their squad even further, it remains to be seen if they will be able to bring in any more new faces before the window closes.
