This summer, Chelsea has already completed a number of transfers, and Mauricio Pochettino will be able to create the ideal starting lineup with the help of three more.

With just three transfers, Mauricio Pochettino can create the ideal Chelsea starting lineup. The Blues now have just three positions available as a result of the additions of Nicolas Jackson, Christopher Nkunku, and Malo Gusto.

Before Gabriel Slonina is prepared to take over in goal, Pochettino must first find a seasoned goalkeeper who can unseat Kepa Arrizbalaga and serve as a superior fill-in. The 19-year-old goalkeeper moved from Chicago Fire to Stamford Bridge for £12 million last summer before coming back on loan to the MLS team for the rest of the season.

It is unclear whether Slonina, who signed a contract keeping him at Stamford Bridge until 2028, will be added to the starting lineup or given a loan this season. The United States international, however, has a wealth of untapped potential that is waiting to be discovered.

Second, Chelsea is in dire need of a new defensive midfielder. With Jorginho departing for Arsenal in January and N’Golo Kante departing for Saudi Arabia, a No. An urgent signing should be number 6.

Gabriel Slonina

Pochettino is able to choose from a variety of exciting wingers for the Blues’ attack. But the former Tottenham manager, who expects Christopher Nkunku to play as a No. 9, could use a backup option. 10 lagging either Nicolas Jackson or Armando Broja.

Rayan Cherki and Florian Wirtz haven’t recently been linked with a move to west London, despite Chelsea supporters pleading with the club to consider them. However, that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t harbor any aspirations.
So let’s talk about football now.
London has examined the possible starting lineups for the Blues under Pochettino after just three significant transfers.

Formation

Pochettino is renowned for his futuristic outlook. He has consistently preferred a 4-2-3-1 over other formations over the years, which looks like a 4-3-3 when attacking and a 4-4-2 when defending.

Goalkeeper.

Despite occasional bursts of brilliance, Kepa hasn’t been able to make an impression since spending a record-breaking sum of money to join Chelsea a few years ago. The Blues need look no further than Keylor Navas with Slonina rising through the ranks.
