The publication states that having sold Kai Havertz to Arsenal, Pochettino feels that Dybala would be the ideal signing to reinforce Chelsea’s attack ahead of the new season.

I also think Bryan Gil could potentially be handed a lifeline by the Australian if the Spaniard impresses during pre-season.
