Mauricio Pochettino said Chelsea are "working so hard" on more signings after debutant Axel Disasi's equalizer secured a 1-1 draw with Liverpool at Stamford Bridge in the Argentinian manager's first competitive game in charge of the club.

Chelsea is reportedly set to beat Liverpool to the signing of Moises Caicedo in a British record transfer that could rise as high as £115 million ($146m) – but Pochettino claimed he knew no more about the protracted deal for the Brighton & Hove Albion player, who was given permission to speak to Liverpool on Friday. "We need to improve in all the areas if we want to be contenders," Pochettino told Sky Sports, adding that Chelsea would pursue the "best dynamic" among his players once the transfer window closes on September 1.

"We are working hard to improve our squad. At the moment, we know nothing [about Caicedo]. We are working so hard. The moment that something happens, we will inform [everyone]." Luis Diaz gave the visitors the lead from an exquisite Mohamed Salah pass after 18 minutes, sliding in to reach the Egypt forward's defence-splitting delivery and beat Robert Sanchez on the goalkeeper's bow for his new club.
Salah looked to have added to his perfect six-game run of scoring in Liverpool's opening matches of the Premier League season, only to be deemed offside after breaking free and clipping a delicate finish over Sanchez in the 29th minute.

Taking over a squad reeling from a wretched 2022-23 season that ended in a 12th-place finish, Pochettino will have been satisfied by a performance in which his players produced four of the five shots on target, although they were relieved when Salah's early effort from the edge of the penalty area came off the crossbar and away.

Chelsea remains without a home win since March 4 and visit West Ham United next Sunday before Luton Town are their visitors on August 25. Liverpool, who also had a late chance through substitute Darwin Nunez, host Bournemouth on Saturday, having extended their unbeaten record in first games of the campaign to 11 seasons.
