Mauricio Pochettino reveals Chelsea players He wants to sell in summer transfer window

Mauricio Pochettino has allegedly told the club management of which players he wishes to retain and who he intends to sell, indicating progress in his discussions with Chelsea to become the club's next manager.

Reece James has been mentioned as a crucial player in the Argentine coach's plan to assemble a youthful core of players.

Pochettino is familiar with such a strategy because of his success at Tottenham Hotspur, where he nurtured players like Harry Kane and Dele Alli.

The Independent claims that he has already started to implement his plans at Stamford Bridge after deciding which players he would try to build his team around and which players he will sell to raise money.

With an agreement now said to be near, Pochettino has already instructed his backroom team, notably his longtime assistant coach Jesus Perez, to be ready for their next task.

Many players, including Kepa Arrizabalaga, Marc Cucurella, Trevoh Chalobah, Mateo Kovacic, Mason Mount, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Conor Gallagher, Hakim Ziyech, Christian Pulisic, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, are rumored to be on the exit list for Chelsea.

After a disappointing year under previous coach Frank Lampard, Chelsea supporters will be hopeful that Pochettino can turn the club's fortunes around.

The current Chelsea team has had trouble being consistent and failing to generate enough scoring chances.

Many supporters are optimistic that Pochettino can repeat his success at Spurs, where he was known for his aggressive style of play.

Pochettino is anticipated to succeed Lampard, who has been acting as interim manager, even though there is no sign that he would be hired before the conclusion of the current campaign.
