Mauricio Pochettino He is the main candidate for the bench of the Chelsea for the next season. The Argentine has a verbal agreement with the English team but, according to various European media and TNT Sports Argentina, has two requirements for the next summer transfer market to be able to sit on the bench of Stamford Bridge. Here we tell you:
Pochettino’s 2 demands to lead Chelsea
-Ivan Toney: The English forward is one of the great sensations of the season. He has 19 Premier League goals so far, trailing only Erling Haaland and Harry Kane on the scoring charts. His contract ends in the summer of 2025.
Pochettino feels that Chelsea need to bring in a top-class center forward in order to compete better. The club only has two forwards (Pierre Emerick Aubameyang and Armando Broja). The Gabonese will leave in the summer because he does not fit into the team.
-David Raya: The Spanish goalkeeper is one of the best players in his position in the English first division. He is a mainstay of Thomas Frank’s Brentford, just like Toney, and is a market opportunity because of his current situation. His contract ends in the summer of 2024 and his intention is to leave the club to make the leap to a more top team.
Pochettino wants a top-level goalkeeper for next season because he doesn’t trust Kepa and Edouard Mendy. The club is also eyeing other names such as André Onana and Kobel.
