Mauricio Pochettino is wary of creating ‘a mess for the squad’ as Chelsea look to add another attacker before the window closes with a number of options eventually due back from injury.
Pochettino insists Chelsea will only move for the ‘right profile’ of player, mindful that he is currently without Christopher Nkunku, Armando Broja and Carney Chukwuemeka.
Pochettino said: ‘It’s easy to say we need maybe another offensive player but I think we have offensive players that need to recover.
‘If you now bring some players that maybe are not fit or need to adapt to the Premier League maybe you are going to spend the same time that you need to wait for Broja, Nkunku or for Carney and then you’re going to create a mess for the squad.
‘That’s why we’re trying to work really hard to analyse every single situation and try to take the best decision.

‘So when these players are fit they can be compatible in between them.
‘That is why it’s not easy but we are trying to do something.’
