Mauricio Pochettino give update if any Chelsea player is leaving on deadline day
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!In the wake of Chelsea’s disappointing 4-1 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield, manager Mauricio Pochettino has not ruled out the possibility of players leaving the club before the closure of the transfer window tonight. While the chances of Chelsea making any new signings seem slim, there is still a potential for some departures on deadline day.
Addressing the question of player exits in his post-match press conference, Pochettino, as reported by football.london, stated, “To be honest, I cannot say yes or not. Always some things appear in the last moment, surprise or not, and we need to be aware of that. At the moment, I can tell you there is nothing moving at the moment.”
The defeat against Liverpool, where Chelsea suffered a 4-1 loss, adds a layer of complexity to the transfer dynamics as Pochettino’s attention turns to the upcoming match against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
Potential exits from Chelsea on deadline day include Andrey Santos, who is set to join Strasbourg on loan after giving his approval for a move to the French club. Santos was recalled earlier this month following an unsuccessful loan spell at Nottingham Forest, where he made just one appearance in the Premier League.
Another player in consideration for departure is Armando Broja, with Fulham likely to make a bid for the striker, according to reports from the Daily Mail. If Broja were to move to Fulham or another club, Nicolas Jackson would be the sole natural No.9 remaining at Stamford Bridge. With only six starts in the top flight this season, the 22-year-old may see the potential move as an opportunity for more playing time and development. The final hours of the transfer window could bring about unforeseen changes, and Pochettino remains open to any last-minute surprises in the transfer market.
