Chelsea head coach Maurizio Sarri has made
a request to the club’s board for another
signing to be completed this month following
the arrival of Gonzalo Higuain.
According to the Italian coach, he made it
clear to the club ahead of the winter transfer
window that he needs to boost two areas in
his squad to remain competitive for the
remainder of the season. Higuain arrived to
replace Alvaro Morata this month with the
Spain international switching countries to join
Atletico Madrid.

Higuain’s arrival at the Bridge signaled the
Blues were ready to back their head coach in
the current transfer market and his request for
a midfielder to replace Cesc Fabregas means
Blues fans may yet see another player arrive
this month.
The London based side were linked with a
move for Leandro Paredes, who joined Paris
Saint Germain on Tuesday, but are still in
search of another to provide cover for
Jorginho in the deep-lying midfield role; as
confirmed by Sarri in the press conference
quoted by Liam Twomey from Goal.com in the
Tweet below:
Sarri on Fabregas
replacement: "You know
very well my opinion. I
thought for us it was
important to have two
players. One has arrived &
I'm waiting for the other. If
he will arrive I'll be very
happy, but if he doesn't I
will work with these
players. It's not a problem"
