Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has successfully secured the authority to make the final decisions on transfers, according to reports by The Independent.
Following the Todd Boehly-led takeover, which occurred just over a year ago, Chelsea has spent over £1 billion on player acquisitions.
This extensive spending has resulted in a large and somewhat disjointed squad.
Pochettino expressed the desire to have control over the shaping of his squad to ensure it aligns with his tactical style.
As per the report, any future transfer activities will be aimed at addressing specific gaps or bolstering the squad’s depth to match Pochettino’s tactical preferences.
It will be a “collaborative process with the recruitment team, which includes co-sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart and co-director of recruitment and talent Joe Shields.”
