Premier League star 'still wants Chelsea move despite Mauricio Pochettino's exit' as their agent warns current club to 'be ready' ahead of summer transfer window

A Premier League star is still reportedly keen to make the switch to Stamford Bridge this summer, despite Chelsea not even having a manager in place.

Mauricio Pochettino left the club by mutual consent on Tuesday evening at the end of a whirlwind campaign that saw his side shock many by managing to qualify for Europa League football.

It came at the end of a season of uncertainty at Chelsea, with Pochettino's position under mass scrutiny during much of 2023-24 as the Blues struggled for consistency.

However, they may yet remain a go-to destination for young talents despite an under-whelming season, with one Premier League striker still keen to make the move after being linked back in January, according to their agent.
