“In the next few days” – Mauricio Pochettino names two players he wants to sign after Chelsea beat Luton
Chelsea win a 3-0 at Stamford Bridge on Friday night – the first victory of the Mauricio Pochettino era – with Raheem Sterling scoring twice before setting up Nicolas Jackson for his first Blues goal.
Despite the brilliant performances of Jackson and Sterling against Luton Town, Pochettino insists he still wants to sign another forward and a goalkeeper.
“Like last week, when we lose the game, it [transfer plans] is not going to change,” Pochettino said.
“We work, the result today was positive, and still we are talking. We’d like a keeper and an offensive player more, of the right profile. We are working to find this profile that I think we need.
“We cannot change if we lose or win, it’s what we need to provide the team with good balance. Still we need one offensive player more if it is possible to achieve what we want.
“If not, we are not just going to bring a player in if he’s not the right profile. To only say yes, we have another offensive player, we need to find the profile.”
Asked what the ‘right profile’ was, he added: “A different profile, can play striker or at the side or behind, we will see.
“In the next few days we will take some decisions.”
