Arsenal legend Ian Wright has urged Chelsea’s new manager, Mauricio Pochettino, to sign a new goalkeeper and No. 9 this summer transfer window.
Wright also wants Pochettino to cut down on his Chelsea squad number by selling some players he doesn’t need at the club.
On Monday, Pochettino signed a three-year contract to take over at Stamford Bridge.
“I don’t think [Mauricio] Pochettino needs to do much this summer because of the calibre of coach he is, how good he is with young players, and how he can organise a team,” Wright told BBC’s Match of the Day.
“If you look at what Chelsea have got, probably sign a goalkeeper this summer—definitely a number nine—but when you look at what they’ve got in the squad, they have got enough pieces.”
Wright said further: “He needs to cut the squad down a bit and bring in some quality. They have already got quality, but bring in a bit more. Chelsea fans should be excited about Pochettino because he will sort this out.”
