The incoming Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino will prioritise two positions in the summer transfer market when he takes charge at Stamford Bridge.

Football pundit and transfer expert, Alex Crook said that a new goalkeeper and new No. 9 are key targets for the incoming boss.

The former Tottenham boss will be announced as the boss at Stamford Bridge any time from now with all agreements having been reached.

The former PSG boss signed a three-year deal and would take over permanently from Graham Potter, who was sacked a couple of weeks ago.

“Mauricio Pochettino has two key positions in mind when it comes to the summer transfer window,” Crook told talkSPORT.

“He wants a new goalkeeper, with doubts over the quality of both Edouard Mendy and Kepa Arrizabalaga – Inter Milan’s Andre Onana is already being lined up to come in and take that No.1 jersey.

“Pochettino also knows Chelsea are in desperate need of a goalscoring No.9 and he’s an admirer of the Inter Milan and Argentina striker Lautaro Martinez.

“Napoli’s Victor Osimhen is another potential target.”

“I would get a centre forward this summer, I would go for Julian Alvarez,” Merson said on The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast.

“I am a big fan. If they could get him, I would. I still think they probably need another midfield player as well.”

Arsenal is expected to bolster its squad in the summer after winning the Premier League title ahead of Manchester City this season.

Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney, has picked the Red Devils defender Luke Shaw as the most improved player in the Premier League following the conclusion of the 2025/26 season.

Speaking on his BBC podcast, Rooney said, “I think, for me, Luke Shaw. I think Luke Shaw has been the most improved player this season.

“I know he is an experienced player now, but I think his level this season has been much better than it has been in recent seasons.

“People might look at Kobbie Mainoo but I don’t think he’s improved. It was just the fact he wasn’t playing under the former manager so it wasn’t good or bad.”

Shaw enjoyed one of his most consistent seasons at Man United and started all of Man United’s Premier League games.
