I’m Not Thinking About Signing New Players In January – Pochettino

Chelsea manager, Mauricio Pochettino has come out to hint at the club having a quiet January window. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he can only urge his current players to step up because he is not thinking about going into the market in January right now.

Poch added that if any signing would be made next month, a discussion must be had with the owners and sporting director.

His words, “It is a thing that we are going to discuss with the owner. At the moment the most important is to work with our squad and our team. Players need to step up and be part of the squad and be available. From the beginning of the season, we suffer many injuries. Personally, I am not thinking of going into the market but it is something we will discuss with the owners and the sporting director.”

WOW.

Chelsea Football Club is an English professional football club based in Fulham, West London. Founded in 1905, they play their home games at Stamford Bridge.

The club competes in the Premier League, the top division of English football. They won their first major honour, the League championship, in 1955. The club won the FA Cup for the first time in 1970, their first European honour, the Cup Winners’ Cup, in 1971, and became the third English club to win the Club World Cup in 2022.

On 7 May 2022, Chelsea confirmed that terms have been agreed for a new ownership group, led by Todd Boehly, Clearlake Capital, Mark Walter and Hansjörg Wyss, to acquire the club. The group was later known as BlueCo.

The UK government approved the £4.25bn takeover, ending Abramovich’s 19-year ownership of the club. Bruce Buck, who served as chairman since 2003, was replaced by Boehly, while long-serving club director and de facto sporting director Marina Granovskaia left, as did Petr Čech from the role of technical and performance advisor.
