With the Mason Mount situation officially ended, Mauricio Pochettino can now focus on starting his project at Chelsea without any additional interruptions. The West Londoners seem to be looking for a striker, a defensive midfielder, a creative midfielder, and perhaps a goalkeeper. Dusan Vlahovic, Lautaro Martinez, and Harry Kane have all recently been strongly linked with moves to Stamford Bridge, but the former Tottenham manager appears to favor Paulo Dybala. Gabri Veiga is reportedly moving to Paris Saint-Germain, therefore Chelsea has recently made Rayan Cherki a target. Although Moises Caicedo remains the Blues’ top aim this summer, little seems to have changed so far. Not many choices exist between the sticks. Andre

Chelsea favourites for Caicedo

Chelsea: 1/10.

Gunners – 12/1

Milinkovic-Savic link

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic is one of the midfielders with whom Chelsea has been casually associated.

It appears to be more of a backup plan in case the Blues are unable to sign Caicedo, but Italian media reports claim that the midfielder is in talks with Al-Hilal and waiting to hear from Juventus.

It appears to be one that Chelsea is unlikely to experience.
