Since the start of the season, Chelsea have only won three TCC matches (Luton, Wimbledon and Brighton). A more than meager record for the current 14th in the Premier League. The fault, in large part, is injuries, but also a lack of continuity within Mauricio Pochettino’s team which must recover from an already disastrous 2022-2023 campaign. If the last transfer window was grandiose, the next winter window is fast approaching. The opportunity for the Blues to compensate for some shortcomings, particularly at the forefront, who must do without Nkunku for the moment.
At the end of August, Antonio Nusa was approached by Chelsea, who are also monitoring Ivan Toney, who has been away from the field for several months. The Brentford striker could compete with Nicolas Jackson, interesting but still tender. What is certain is that Pochettino will have his say. “When the transfer window closed, I said I needed to be more involved in all decisions from now on. I have started working to identify what we need for January”, details the Argentinian at the dawn of the London derby against Fulham on Monday. As for the attack, the tactician calms things down: “I think football is very dynamic and it’s always about the present, things can change until January. Now we have to work to get Nkunku and Broja back to try to bring more goals to the team and become solid.” To be continued.
