CHELSEA’s attack under Mauricio Pochettino could be totally revitalised next season.
Following the Blues’ worst-ever Premier League season Todd Boehly has been busy wielding the axe on the club’s deadwood, with many heading to Saudi Arabia.
Harry Kane has hinted his next club may be ChelseaRex
How Chelsea may line up next season
But there have been players coming the other way and the arrival of Christopher Nkunku could kick start a fresh start at Stamford Bridge.
And the attack could be turbo-charged if he’s joined up front by none other than Harry Kane.
It comes after the England and Tottenham ace dropped a hint that his future may still lie in London, despite reports suggesting he was on course for a move to Bayern Munich.
Kane, 29, is said to be nearing the completion of a new family home by Wentworth Golf Club, just 15 miles away from Chelsea‘s Cobham training base.
So if a transfer does come to fruition for the £100million-rated striker, how might Pochettino line up his team?
SunSport has revealed Kepa Arrizzabalaga wants to stay at Chelsea despite speculation about them looking for a new goalkeeper after Edouard Mendy’s departure, so he could be in goal.
The defence may see Levi Colwill brought straight into the first team after a strong loan spell away at Brighton for him to link up with veteran Thiago Silva.
Reece James will more than likely fill the right-back slot, with Marc Cucurella and Ben Chilwell vying for the left-back position.

Midfield is likely to see £107m star Enzo Fernandez line up alongside one other, who could be heavily-linked Brighton star Moises Caicedo.
Caicedo would also accommodate a change of position for the Argentine which his father has hinted at.
Mykhailo Mudryk may be given a new lease of life under Pochettino at left wing while Noni Madueke occupies the right flank, with the likes of Raheem Sterling coming in when needed.
Up front would see Kane form an alliance with Nkunku playing off him behind.
Together they are a 53-goal force, with Kane having registered 33 Premier League goal contributions and Nkunku 20 in the Bundesliga.
Other deviations in line up could include Kane lining up in a front two with Nicolas Jackson, set to be announced as a £30m signing from Villarreal.
Ethan Ampadu has been tipped to be brought back into the fold and may partner another Chelsea transfer target in the form of Romeo Lavia.
Benoit Badiashile proved his worth last season and would be more than capable of stepping into the xi if Colwill was not present.
Andre Onana remains on the Blues radar for the goalkeeper despite his links to Manchester United.
Alternatively, Pochettino may utilise a three-at-the-back system, bringing in Wesley Fofana and Sterling at the back and front ends of the pitch respectively.
