Pochettino begins work at Chelsea

Mauricio Pochettino begins life at his new club at their Cobham training ground today as the Argentine officially starts work at Chelsea this morning. The 51-year-old was dressed in a dark suit and appears to have had a small glow-up since he was pictured in the dugout at Soccer Aid.

And with plenty of transfers still to be made, it could be a busy first day for Pochettino in his new office.

Manchester United have seen a second bid for Atalanta star Rasmus Hojlund rejected, reports say. The Red Devils have made the 20-year-old their number one striker target after being priced out of a move for Harry Kane. But the Italian club are ready to demand a huge fee to part ways with the Denmark international. United’s latest offer was said to be £40m, but their asking price is said to be at least £64m, according to 90Min. It remains to be seen whether United will meet their demands as Ten Hag desperately tries to get a striker in.
