Live updates on Chelsea’s transfer news: Messinho reportedly reaches an agreement, Hernandez linked, and Sterling possibly involved as a sweetener for Olise deal.

Chelsea faces a pivotal summer in the transfer market as they seek to rebound from two disappointing domestic campaigns.

Despite Todd Boehly’s substantial investment of over €1 billion in new players since his arrival at the club in 2022, there has been little success to show for it. The team finished 12th last season and appears headed for another underwhelming finish this time around.

Mauricio Pochettino’s arrival last summer was hoped to reverse their fortunes, but a mid-table finish seems likely for the expensively assembled squad, much to the dismay of supporters.

Pochettino’s future hangs in the balance, with speculation suggesting he could be sacked before the 2024-25 season begins, particularly following a humiliating 5-0 defeat to London rivals Arsenal. However, recent victories over Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham have alleviated some concerns regarding his tenure.

While Chelsea continues to pursue promising young talents, their current squad’s underperformance raises questions about potential shifts towards established stars in the transfer market.

Victor Osimhen, Napoli’s striker, is a prime target for Chelsea this summer, but the club is exploring alternatives, indicating that numerous deals could be in the pipeline to strengthen their squad.
