Sources close to Chelsea have now shared some insight regarding what the mood is like under Mauricio Pochettino at Stamford Bridge.

It was Football London who provided the information.

So, what is life like at Chelsea under Mauricio Pochettino? Let’s take a look…

What’s the story?

Well, it is said that the players are delighted with how things are going under the Argentine.

Chelsea may only have a single victory to show for their efforts after three Premier League outings this season, but the performances have been largely impressive.

Football London state that Chelsea players love Pochettino, and the feeling is said to be mutual as all parties – aside from outcasts such as Romelu Lukaku – get on swimmingly.

It is also said that the feeling around the club is “very, very positive” – presumably, that means people involved behind the scenes are also feeling quite content, such as the kitman and other staff members.

It speaks volumes that Pochettino has already won most people over at Chelsea so quickly into his career at Stamford Bridge, and also with a strong Tottenham background on his CV – something the fans at Stamford Bridge may have kicked off about if things had started poorly, given the rivalry between both sides.

Chelsea must support Mauricio Pochettino further

Todd Boehly has given Pochettino some superb footballers this summer, such as Moises Caicedo, Romeo Lavia and Nicolas Jackson.

However, there is still work to do before Friday’s transfer deadline if Chelsea are to have a successful 2023/24 campaign.

As Pochettino asked for after Chelsea’s 3-0 win over Luton Town, the Blues need a versatile forward who can operate anywhere across the frontline, and bring creativity to the side.

Boehly and those on the recruitment team at Chelsea also need to find a new home for potentially disruptive figures such as Lukaku, which should be just as important to Pochettino as signing new players.

Leaving the Belgian in west London – with no intention of playing him – will most likely lead to issues.

Be sure to keep an eye on developments at Chelsea across the next week, as we expect at least one more signing to arrive.
