What Chelsea needs now — Pochettino after Luton Town win

Chelsea manager, Mauricio Pochettino has opened up on what the team needs moving forward going into the new Premier League season.

In his post-match press conference after the 3-0 home defeat of Luton Town, the Argentine revealed Chelsea are ready to pursue any player that fits the right profile in terms of a forward and a goalkeeper.

Though Chelsea’s goals in the game came courtesy of the team’s forward line in Raheem Sterling and Nicolas Jackson, Pochettino advocates for two new signings for his team, with another forward option to call on.

Pochettino was quoted after the game as saying:

“Like last week, when we lost the game, it [transfer plans] is not going to change. We work, the result today was positive, and still we are talking. We’d like a keeper and an offensive player more, of the right profile. We are working to find this profile that I think we need.

“We cannot change if we lose or win, it is what we need to provide the team with good balance. Still we need one offensive player more if it is possible to achieve what we want.

“If not, we are not just going to bring a player in if he is not the right profile. To only say yes, we have another offensive player, we need to find the profile.”
