Opinion – Poch wants next Lewandowski in Chelsea for “special” £72m-rated gem
Chelsea owner Todd Boehly appears to have found the man charged with the responsibility of lifting the club from the despair of this season to new heights in 2023/24; Mauricio Pochettino.
The Argentinian will reportedly take over at the end of the season and there are several areas of the squad that he will need to improve, starting with his forward options.
The club have scored just 36 times in the Premier League this term, with only three teams scoring more and an upgrade on their current options is a necessity for Pochettino during the summer.
According to the Daily Mail, Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez is the ‘most likely’ centre-forward target for the Stamford Bridge outfit in the transfer window.
Football Transfers have valued the player at €81.6m (£72m) and Boehly will again have to splash the cash in order to sign him.
The attacker would certainly be a major upgrade on their current attacking options and the Argentinian is also statistically similar to Robert Lewandowski, suggesting finding the back of the net on a regular basis shouldn’t be a problem.
