Mauricio Pochettino has already seen huge sums spent since arriving at Chelsea in the summer but has called for more involvement in the club’s transfer activity
Mauricio Pochettino admits he needs to be “more involved” in transfers – a feeling he had during his tenure at Tottenham.
The Argentine returned to the Premier League this summer after several years away from England’s top flight. He’s in the midst of trying to get a tune out of his Chelsea squad, which has been lavishly assembled across several different managerial regimes, all sanctioned by Todd Boehly.
The American has taken a hands-on role in recruitment at Stamford Bridge, although spending more than £1billion has done little to improve the team’s fortunes. Already the Blues have lost three times this term and, as Pochettino looks for answers, he admits he needs to have more influence over the ins and outs.
He said: “The good thing, the relationship is very good with the owners and the sporting directors. I think like I told before, when the transfer window was closed, I need to be involved, more involved now, in every single decision. I think we need to start identifying what we need for January. We already start to work.”
