The departures at the west London club could be marked with new arrivals, with Pochettino keen to strengthen his squad ahead of the new season.

According to The Sun, the Blues have already acquired the services of Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson. With a month of the transfer window still to go, the publication reports Chelsea could add even more new faces.

It has been claimed that Paris Saint-Germain wantaway hotshot, Kylian Mbappe, is among the top players who could join the Premier League giants.

Football London claims the Frenchman could reunite with Pochettino on loan at Stamford Bridge after he recently turned down a lucrative move to Saudi Arabian side, Al-Hilal.

Brighton goalkeeper, Robert Sanchez, is the other player who has been linked with a possible Chelsea move. Other players who could move to the EPL side include Moses Caicedo and Axel Disasi.
