Chelsea to lose 3 star players ahead of Pochettino’s arrival

Chelsea is set to lose three of their main players as they look to trim their squad.

News out of London is that cross city rivals Arsenal has agreed a £65m pound deal with the Blues for Kai Havertz.

Meanwhile, Mateo Kovacic is close to joining Manchester City after they agreed a deal with Chelsea worth up to £30m.

Fellow midfielder N’Golo Kante is also on his way out, having agreed to join Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia.

The departures come as Chelsea attempt to reduce a bloated squad after the new owners splashed £400m on new players last season.

Incoming manager, Mauricio Pochettino is said to want a smaller group of players to work with.

He is believed to have given his blessing to the sales in a bid to raise funds to purchase a striker which the team sorely needs.
