Chelsea Transfer News: The latest Blues headlines, gossip and stories with updates on pre-season numbers, signings and Mauricio Pochettino.

Chelsea’s pre-tour US squad will look very different to the one Thomas Tuchel chose for his own trip across the Pacific last summer.

Mauricio Pochettino is expected to travel to the United States in two weeks, but more changes are to come.

The Blues have already sold players worth £163m but that could rise to £321m ahead of the trip. While Tuchel opted for a 29-man, 14-man squad who would then leave before the end of the summer window, Pochettino is unlikely to follow suit.

In a scenario football.london has predicted, there are just 13 players left at the club that last toured and the squad preparing for the 2023/24 season will again look very different.

Chelsea confirmed their fourth transfer in two days after announcing the arrival of Nicolas Jackson and the departure of Ruben Loftus-Cheek on Friday.

These have now been followed by the arrival of youth pairing Alex Matos and Diego Moreira. Both teenagers join on a free transfer after their contracts with Norwich and Benfica respectively expire.

Mauricio Pochettino’s massive rebuilding at the club continues, although deals for this duo were agreed before the Argentine himself was hired as manager, the influx and exodus of players across the club continues.

Saturday marked the first day of Mauricio Pochettino’s official tenure at Chelsea. After agreeing to join the club more than four weeks ago, the Blues are now under the management of the Argentine.

The start of the month also marked the end of the sponsorship deal with Three as the club enters limbo without a new confirmed sponsor.

After reports suggested gaming and casino company Stake would become main shirt sponsor on a one-year deal, the Chelsea Supporters’ Trust sent a letter to owners opposing the potential partnership .

Further decisions are yet to be announced as the wait for a new kit announcement also continues.
