Mauricio Pochettino has confirmed that he is looking to bring one more midfielder in for CHELSEA this summer.
Following a busy summer for the club, Conor Gallagher is one of just five central midfielders left at Stamford Bridge, alongside record-signing Enzo Fernandez and young trio Carney Chulwuemeka, Andrey Santos and Cesare Casadei.
The likes of Mason Mount, Matteo Kovacic and Ngolo Kante are just some of the names that have already left the club for bigger wage packets – and it means that we will need to do some more deals over the next few weeks.
Now – Pochettino has opened up and revealed that he is looking to add another midfielder to his squad – and is keen to add an experience player to his side.
WHAT HAS BEEN SAID –
‘We need at least one more [midfielder] and we are working on that. It depends on what happens in the next few weeks. We will decide and take our decision,’ Pochettino was quoted on the Metro
‘We need one more with experience. But it’s a good opportunity for the young guys to have the chance to play. There are still three games to play here and it’s good, not a problem.
‘We are going to arrive in a good condition at the start of the season. We are testing different players who can be important for the present and the future.
‘It’s important to have the possibility to play with these guys, in games against Brighton, Newcastle, Fulham and Dortmund, is important for them because it’s real competition to see their quality. That’s important.’
