Paul Merson has instructed Mauricio Pochettino to take over for Chelsea’s Kepa Arrizabalaga, claiming that one ideal summer signing would elevate the Blues to title contender status.

After deciding to become Chelsea’s sixth permanent manager in five years at the end of the previous campaign, Pochettino officially assumed control at Stamford Bridge on Monday.

The Argentine has a challenging task ahead of him because, despite spending nearly £600 million on transfers in the previous year, Chelsea only finished 12th in the Premier League last season.

Mason Mount, Kai Havertz, Mateo Kovacic, N’Golo Kante, Kalidou Koulibaly, and Edouard Mendy are among the first-team regulars that Chelsea has sold this summer. They also left Stamford Bridge.

The fact that Mendy left suggests that Pochettino will continue to use Arrizabalaga as his starting goalkeeper. Although Merson thinks Chelsea are “crying out” for a new goalkeeper, no. 1 next season.

Merson stated to Sky Sports that Chelsea are in desperate need of a new goalkeeper. You require a goalkeeper who will help you score points. When you have one, you can quickly advance in the league.

David De Gea is criticized mercilessly at Manchester United for dropping goals, but he scores many goals for them and likely saves more goals than he concedes.

Chelsea’s midfield also needs reinforcements desperately. There is no one left. All they have are possibly three midfielders—Enzo Fernandez, Conor Gallagher, and Moises Caicedo—at the club, and there are rumors of a Moises Caicedo arrival.

As we sit here, you could say that Mauricio Pochettino “pulled up trees” if Chelsea finishes in the top four despite only having signed Caicedo. ’.

Merson asserts that Pochettino’s reunion with Tottenham captain Harry Kane would be a game-changer and that Chelsea must sign new midfielders and a striker this summer.

According to the former Arsenal star, “They need midfielders and a center-forward.”. Harry Kane is the only player currently playing who elevates Chelsea to a new level.

He inspires Chelsea to once more contend for the league championship. Because of how much of a difference Kane would make for Chelsea, if they didn’t place in the top four, something would be wrong.

“He scored 30 league goals for Tottenham, for Tottenham, last season.”. He practically has to do everything himself, including playing with whom at Spurs. I dread to think how many goals he will score if he stays at Spurs for the upcoming season with James Maddison playing there.

The thought of Kane joining Bayern Munich gives me the willies. Why would you go? What for?’ I asked myself after coming within 47 goals of Alan Shearer’s Premier League scoring record and before heading to Bayern to help them win the Bundesliga for the 97th consecutive season.

With a star that cost £34 million, Chelsea has made “zero progress” at Stamford Bridge.

With a star that cost £34 million, Chelsea has made “zero progress” at Stamford Bridge.

According to writer Paul Brown for GIVEMESPORT, there has been no progress made by Chelsea and Inter Milan in regards to the sale of Romelu Lukaku.

Since his return to Stamford Bridge, the Belgian forward has had difficulty.

Romelu Lukaku: recent Chelsea transfer news.

Lukaku, who according to Transfermarkt is worth approximately £34 million, spent the previous season on loan at Inter Milan.

The previous year, the 30-year-old returned to Chelsea, but he found it difficult to have an impact in the Premier League.

According to a recent report by Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Inter are getting ready to start new negotiations with the west London club in order to bring Lukaku back to the San Siro.

According to Rudy Galetti, who works for GIVEMESPORT, Chelsea is trying to persuade Romelu Lukaku to leave the club and move to Saudi Arabia, possibly as a result of the exorbitant player acquisition costs some Middle Eastern clubs are charging.

It makes sense that Lukaku’s current club, Stamford Bridge, would want to sell him during the summer transfer window given that he is reportedly paid £350,000 per week.

Former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel, who oversaw the team last year, previously referred to the former Everton striker as “world-class.”.

How has Brown responded to Lukaku?

According to Brown, there has been no progress in the negotiations between Inter and Chelsea regarding Lukaku.

According to the journalist, it is likely that the Blues will allow Lukaku to leave on loan at a later time during the transfer window.

He said: “No, as far as I’m aware, Inter and Lukaku have made no progress. Given that Chelsea invested so much money in him, it is a challenging decision.

“I don’t believe Inter are even remotely interested in shelling out a significant sum of money to bring Lukaku back, and they are aware that Chelsea will almost certainly accept another loan by the time the transfer window closes.

“So, it appears that outcome is the most likely one at this time. “.

What will happen to Lukaku next?

Lukaku started just 16 Premier League games for Chelsea the season before he was loaned out to Inter; during that time, he scored eight goals while recording no assists.

Even though the Belgian international received a fair return, it was obvious that things didn’t work out for him because less than a year after joining, he was permitted to leave on a temporary basis.

It’s probably time for both parties to move on, even though Chelsea could use a natural center-forward, but it won’t be simple for the Blues to recoup their investment after spending £97.5m on the striker.
