Teddy Sheringham thinks “everything can change” at Chelsea if they can sign a “finisher” with Mauricio Pochettino expected to be a “great” appointment.
The Blues are on course to finish in the bottom half of the Premier League despite spending over £500million on new players across the previous two transfer windows.
The club’s new ownership, led by Todd Boehly, made the bold decision to sack Champions League-winning boss Thomas Tuchel last September, replacing him with Graham Potter, who was dismissed in April.

“He is going to have some wonderful players at his disposal, and he will have the autonomy to go in there and decide who he wants to keep and who wants to get rid of without having to worry about upsetting anyone.
“He has a wonderful pedigree. I was surprised that Tottenham didn’t make a move for him.
“It doesn’t look like Tottenham are going to be appointing a manager anytime soon unless Daniel Levy is working on a deal with Julian Nagelsmann to come in at the end of the season – you would assume that Tottenham are in talks with someone to let Poch join a rival without having a conversation…
