EPL: Pochettino Desires Chelsea To Sign Arsenal Target

Mauricio Pochettino

Mauricio Pochettino, the incoming manager of Chelsea, is reportedly interested in signing Declan Rice from Arsenal this summer.

This summer, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United are still interested in Rice, a West Ham United player.

Next season, Pochettino is eager to collaborate with the 24-year-old England World Cup hero.

The former PSG coach has had numerous opportunity to talk about his objectives for the upcoming summer transfer window, particularly his wish to see midfielder Mason Mount given a new contract. He is expected to complete his contract at Stamford Bridge in the coming days.

Pochettino was informed of the Chelsea board's long-standing desire to sign Rice, and the Argentine was eager to entice the midfielder to the west London club.

While they continue to press for N'Golo Kante's contract extension, Chelsea is looking to add a new midfielder to their squad this summer.

Mateo Kovacic, Conor Gallagher, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek's futures, though, are in question, and it's known that Pochettino's plan for the Stamford Bridge club includes a significant amount of midfield strengthening.
