EXCL: Pochettino's aims, Plans for Colwill, Liverpool game, Ziyech, Pulisic, and Moises Caicedo news...

The Ben Jacobs Chelsea FC column!

Mauricio Pochettino is officially in charge of Chelsea and the main aim now is to create chemistry and identity. A manageable squad size is obviously key to that.

Chelsea are delighted with the speed of many outgoings so far, and the fees of Kai Havertz, Mateo Kovacic and Mason Mount certainly help on the books.

Eduoard Mendy and Kalidou Koulibaly’s fees are a bit smaller, but getting both off the wage bill was important.
