Chelsea to sign two players before summer window closes

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino in a recent statement via ESPN has revealed the Blues would sign at least two more players before the summer window closes.

One of the new players they would be signing is New England Revolution goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic, who is likely to undergo a medical imminently ahead of a £14m move.

The Blues are also considering signing one of Nottingham Forest’s Brennan Johnson and Arsenal’s Folarin Balogun.

“We need at least one keeper,” Pochettino said on Thursday. “We have very talented young keepers but they need time. We need more and then we were talking about one offensive player, the right profile.

“If we can add the right profile, yes, but not to bring players so we can add one more. We don’t want to stop the evolution of some young guys, Broja, Nkunku. Working hard but not to take a decision because we need someone. These two areas we maybe need some players.

“We are trying to find the right profile. The most important is the profile of the player we need to add to the squad so after it won’t be a problem and they can be compatible. That is why it is not easy but yes, we are trying to do something.

“It is open, the transfer window, and the club is working and yes some players are rumoured with the club, maybe true or not true, we will inform when something happens.”
