Chelsea’s winter transfers will not be decided by coach Pochettino! Boniface is in the crosshairs, what other names are being talked about?

Chelsea is not having a good year again, so they are going to strengthen in the winter. Interestingly, the arrivals will reportedly not be decided by coach Mauricio Pochettino. Who do the Blues have in their busy midfield?

The London big club will want to increase productivity, so they will primarily go after an end player. He has several strikers on his list that he will go after.

Coach Pochettino will not be choosy, however. The new striker will be chosen by the sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstantley.

They will be supported by club owner Todd Boehly. Pochettino will only have an advisory role, he will not have veto power in any case.

Chelsea’s summer signing from Leipzig, Christopher Nkunku, returns to the attack and big things are expected from the French international. However, Senegalese Nicolas Jackson will leave for the African Championship in the winter.

So who will the Blues go after in the winter? For example, they have Inter Milan’s Argentine star Lautaro Martínez in their sights, but a January transfer of the current Serie A top scorer is not very likely.

Chelsea are also interested in Victor Boniface, the Nigerian attacker of Leverkusen. He had a great season so far under Xabi Alonso and thanks to his performances Bayer fighting for the top of the Bundesliga.

Chelsea’s interest in Benjamin Šešek, a talented RB Leipzig player, is reportedly very serious. The young Slovenian is only 20 years old and Manchester United were very keen on him in the summer.

The last man on the Londoners’ list is Evan Ferguson, a 19-year-old prodigy coming through for Brighton of England. His price tag would be very high in any case.
