"Chelsea must buy more players to continue to complete the squad. We have to face the reality that the team is ranked in the middle of the table (Premier League). The upcoming transfer market will be an opportunity for Chelsea to buy more suitable players to strengthen their internal strength and move up", said Chelsea coach Mauricio Pochettino, after the shock loss to Everton (0-2) and falling to 12th place in the Premier League rankings.
Coach Mauricio Pochettino publicly stated that Chelsea need to buy more players despite spending more than 1 billion pounds
Chelsea have spent over £1 billion on players in the last three transfer windows. But under their new American owners (represented by billionaire Todd Boehly), the Stamford Bridge club is still struggling with a lackluster style of play.
Last season, Chelsea went through 4 coaches from Thomas Tuchel, Graham Potter to Bruno Saltor, Frank Lampard (interim) but still ranked 12th in the Premier League. This season, new coach Mauricio Pochettino and Chelsea are still ranked 12th (after 16 rounds).
According to MailOnline : "Coach Mauricio Pochettino wants Chelsea's board to buy him at least one top striker. They are targeting Napoli star Victor Osimhen for a price of £100 million or more. But the team's defense also needs reinforcement, when the two full-backs Reece James and Marc Cucurella and goalkeeper Robert Sanchez are all constantly injured. It is very likely that Chelsea's new owners will have to spend more money and they can spend a lot to save the team from the unstoppable decline."

Chelsea is on a downward spiral
"At MU Club, billionaire Jim Ratcliffe is about to complete the procedures to buy 25% of shares with a total value of 1.25 billion pounds and control the entire sports department of the team. They will also spend from 200 million pounds for coach Erik ten Hag to buy players, in case they continue to put their trust in this coach's project.
MU is also facing the possibility of saying goodbye to a series of stars, including the duo Casemiro and Varane, midfielder Eriksen, defender Reguilon, midfielder Amrabat, Van de Beek, striker Martial and of course Jadon Sancho (subject to internal discipline)," said MailOnline .
MU also has problems in attack, when the strikers have only scored 2 goals (both by Rashford) since the beginning of the season, while striker Rasmus Hojlund has scored 5 goals in the Champions League but has failed to score in the Premier League. Striker Osimhen, who Chelsea wants to buy, is also a target of MU.

Meanwhile, the injury storm forced Newcastle to patch up their squad and suffered two consecutive defeats against Everton (0-3) and Tottenham (1-4). They will also take advantage of the upcoming transfer window to recruit players from the Saudi Pro League (Saudi Arabia).
"Newcastle are targeting players from clubs with the same owner (Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund) for loans or transfers at suitable fees," MailOnline shared.
Meanwhile, Man City, Liverpool and Arsenal will also be shopping to strengthen their internal strength for the Premier League championship race. As for Man City and Arsenal, these two 'giants' of English football have even greater ambitions, which is to defend and conquer the Champions League championship.
