Eight Chelsea players face uncertain future as Mauricio Pochettino considers transfer options
With the 2023/24 season approaching its conclusion, Chelsea's attention will soon swiftly turn to the summer transfer window and improving the squad in time for next term.
In a bizarre sort of way, the season ending in three games' time might come a bit too early for the Blues. In the past two-and-a-half matches, Mauricio Pochettino has got his side playing some great football and that looks to all be down to a change in system.
