What Chelsea Must Do in Winter Transfer Market

DBasia.news – A striker is not Chelsea’s priority in this winter transfer market. The manager Maurizio Sarri said Chelsea need an additional player in the wing position.

Recently, Chelsea are eyeing AC Milan striker Gonzalo Higuain. The Argentinian player has been listed since the beginning of this season. But, at that time, Higuain chose to stay in Serie A.

It’s reasonable that Chelsea are interested in Higuain. Sarri has a sweet memory with him in Napoli. At that time, Sarri made him as the deadly predator in the box.

However, FourFourTwo reported Sarri refused the rumor that he wants to sign a new striker in the January transfer market. He needs winger because Eden Hazard often misplaced from his actual position, main striker.

“No, because I have the option with (Eden) Hazard in this position,” Sarri answered asked about the chance to cut the period of Abraham and Batshuayi.

“We have Morata and Hazard can play very well in this position as we have seen in the last matches. So I think at the moment I don’t need another striker,” the manager revealed.

“So I have options for the striker, but at the moment I have no option for the wingers. Now we are in trouble with Pedro out, Hudson-Odoi out and Loftus-Cheek is a midfielder but can play as a winger in two-three matches,” Sarri said.

Chelsea would play against Southampton on the 21st-week of 2018-2019 Premier League at Stamford Bridge Stadium, Thursday (3/1). Currently, Jorginho and friends stuck in the fourth position with 43 points.
