Pochettino targets set-piece specialist for Chelsea in summer transfer window

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has hinted the need to bolster his squad with a specialist in set-piece situations.

Pochettino identified the absence of such a player as a gap in his team and referenced West Ham’s James Ward-Prowse as wielding such ability.

“We don’t have a specialist, and we were talking about trying to find for next season a good one.

“Look at West Ham. [James] Ward-Prowse. You add a player like him, you increase the percentage,” Pochettino said.

Recall the Blues got humiliated in their last encounter with Liverpool at Anfield, worsening their chances for a top four finish this season.

They will hope to bounce back when they play against Wolves in their next Premier League match.
