Paul Merson also believes reuniting Mauricio Pochettino with Tottenham captain Harry Kane would be a game-changer for CHELSEA.
Pochettino is now officially at Stamford Bridge to start the job that he agreed too weeks ago – and there is a feeling that a new striker is wanted by the Argentine boss.
Kane is a player that is heavily tipped to leave Tottenham this summer and Merson believes reuniting Pochettino with Tottenham captain Harry Kane would be a game-changer for Chelsea.
‘They need midfielders and they also need a centre-forward,’ the ex-Arsenal star said. ‘The only player out there who takes Chelsea to another level is Harry Kane, he’s the only one.
‘He takes Chelsea to challenging for the league title again. If Chelsea buy Kane, something would be wrong if they didn’t finish in the top four, that’s how big a difference Kane would make.
‘He scored 30 league goals last season for Tottenham, for Tottenham. And who’s playing with him at Spurs? He has to do it all himself virtually. If he stays at Spurs next season with James Maddison now there, I dread to think how many goals he will get.
‘I cannot for the life of me see Kane join Bayern Munich. Why would you get to within 47 goals of Alan Shearer’s Premier League scoring record and then go to Bayern to help them win the Bundesliga for the 97th time on the trot? Why would you go? What for?’

There is no doubt that Pochettino would love to have Harry Kane at Chelsea and if they offer the right amount of cash – a deal could get done.
Tottenham want £100 million for their star man – no other club want to pay that – so if CHELSEA really wish to sign the Spurs star – they have the money to get this deal done.
