Chelsea has appointed this shocking manager as the new manager as Chelsea after the sacking of Pochettino

With Chelsea eager to bring in a traditional, out-and-out number nine with a consistent goalscoring record, maybe the most crucial post to fill will be top.

With Nicolas Jackson especially inefficient and underperforming their expected goals last season, the Blues may confirm their long-standing interest in prolific Napoli forward Victor Osimhen with a summer move.

Though he still scored 15 goals in 25 Serie A games, Osimhen had a fairly poor season compared to last year, much like his team as a whole did.

With Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal both said to be intrigued, he also has a large £113million release clause and strong interest from other teams.

Elsewhere, the absence of experienced defender Thiago Silva has created room for a fresh center-back while Chelsea wants to increase their left-back alternatives.

To follow the Premier League’s profit and sustainability policies, though, the Blues will have to earn money by selling homegrown talents before they can start working on their summer shopping list.

While some periphery squad players could also be on target, the likes of Conor Gallagher, Armando Broja, Ian Maatsen, and Trevoh Chalobah are probably going to leave with their sales counting as pure profit.
