New No.9 target, attempt to keep Mount & more: Pochettino's transfer priorities revealed (reliability: 4 stars)

According to the Daily Mail, Mauricio Pochettino has already presented his priorities in the summer transfer window to Chelsea's duo of sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Lawrence Stewart.

Despite the need to balance the books, some positions need to be strengthened, with Pochettino keen to sign a striker, a midfielder and a goalkeeper.

Lautaro Martinez is Chelsea's new forward target after Victor Osimhen's price tag sky-rocketed.

In midfield, Declan Rice is still on Chelsea's wishlist, as well as Alexis Mac Allister who is sure to leave Brighton this summer. However, Arsenal and Liverpool appear to be better positioned in the Rice and Mac Allister races, respectively.

In goal, the Blues might go for another World Cup winner with Argentina in Emiliano Martinez.

Apart from signing new players, Pochettino wants to persuade Mason Mount to stay and sign a new deal with the club.

The incoming head coach will also chat with Romelu Lukaku and figure out if he can count on the Belgian next season.
