Chelsea and Liverpool will begin the 2024/25 Premier League season with new managers in the dugout.
Both clubs didn’t plan, nor want to be in this situation last summer, but here they are!
The Liverpool crowd listened to Jurgen Klopp chant Arne Slot’s name after his final game as manager in May, with the Dutchman now beginning work on Merseyside and hoping to challenge for the Premier League title.
Then many were left shocked by Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea exit after the season ended, with Enzo Maresca coming into the building and aiming to get the club back into the Champions League.
If both managers want to achieve their targets, then they are going to need help via the summer transfer market.
Liverpool have been pretty quiet so far, with nothing coming in or goin out and you wonder when their window will spark into life.
On the other hand, those at Stamford Bridge have been pretty busy by adding five new faces to their squad, including the arrival of Chelsea’s new midfielder from Leicester City, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
But you just know they aren’t finished yet, with Craig Burley sounding fed up by the club’s latest transfer rumour.
The former Scotland international was reacting to the suggestion that Chelsea want to sign Real Madrid goalkeeper, Andriy Lunin.
But Burley stated that it’s ‘typical’ of the London club and he highlighted how they love bringing in the number two choice keeper of other clubs, as he told ESPN.
Chelsea want to sign Andriy Lunin
“Lunin?!” responded Burley after being told who Chelsea want as their goalkeeper. “Another number two?! That would be typical of this Chelsea team, wouldn’t it?!
“So, they brought in Brighton’s number two, Robert Sanchez. They then brought in Petrovic from Major League Soccer as a number two, who became their number one.
“Now they are looking to bring in another number two.”
Liverpool could target Andriy Lunin
You may ask why when Liverpool have one of the best keepers in the world – Alisson Becker – but his future isn’t certain.
Sources have told HITC that the Reds will target Lunin if their number one stopper is involved in a worst-case scenario of joining a team in Saudi Arabia – Liverpool signing Lunin may see Kepa Arrizabalaga finally end his Chelsea nightmare.

Either way, Lunin seems to be a man in demand and his recent stint in Real Madrid’s goal on their run to the Champions League and the La Liga title has very much helped.
There is also interest from Arsenal and Man City for Lunin and the Real Madrid star has opened up on his future, as Premier League clubs circle.
