With news of the club’s bid for PSG striker Kylian Mbappe, Chelsea coach Mauricio Pochettino has stated that he is open to another signing in the forward area.

The 24-year-old has one year left on his current deal and is open to staying with the team and leave on a free transfer.

According to rumours, PSG previously accepted €300 million from Al Hilal of Saudi Arabia. Mbappe, on the other hand, is not interested in heading to the Saudi Pro League.

The Blues manager hinted at the signing of a new forward and the need for reinforcement after his side’s 2-0 win against Fulham on Sunday.

“Today I think we are happy with the performance and they can complement each other really well. Yes, of course, maybe we can add some different profile or different player who can help us, of course we are open.”

Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly is said to have held negotiations with PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi about a move for Mbappe, with the Blues willing to give players as well as cash.
