Chelsea’s search for a new manager seems to have come to an end. Soon, the Blues will announce Mauricio Pochettino as their new manager.
This was revealed by journalists from Italy, specialist in the transfer market, Fabrizio Romano. Pochettino is said to be starting work at Chelsea in June 2023.
“Mauricio Pochettino will sign a contract in a few days at Chelsea. However, he will only start his journey with Chelsea in June,” said Fabrizio Romano, recently.
It is believed that Mauricio Pochettino will still retain most of the current Chelsea squad. However, he is also predicted to bring several new names.
Bola.com has three names of players that the Argentine might bring to Stamford Brige. Who are they?
Harry Kane
Mauricio Pochettono spent more than five years at Tottenham Hotspur. At that time, Harry Kane had always been his mainstay striker on the Spurs front line.
At that time Kane and Spurs were facing an uncertain situation. It is very possible for Mauricio Pochettino to tempt Harry Kane to move to Chelsea.
The Blues have more than enough money to sign Kane. Apart from that, Chelsea also has a better tradition than Spurs recently in terms of winning titles.
Rodrigo De Paul
Mauricio Pochettino is from Argentina. In the history of his career, it is not uncommon for him to take part in or rely on players from the State of Tango in his team.
When he was still in charge of Tottenham, Pochettino relied heavily on Erik Lamela. The same thing can be repeated by Pochettino when managing Chelsea.
The figure of Rodrigo De Paul could be an interesting recruit for the Blues. He can replace N’Golo Kante, who is starting to age.
Leandro Paredes
If they fail to get Rodrigo De Paul, Chelsea can pursue another name in Leandro Paredes. This midfielder is experiencing an uncertain situation with Juventus in Italy.
Paredes can play in the position of defensive midfielder or central midfielder. He could be a suitable partner for Enzo Fernandez in the Chelsea midfield.
In addition, Leandro Paredes’ current market value is also estimated to be cheaper than Rodrigo De Paul.
