Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri open to signing new winger

Chelsea head coach Maurizio Sarri has suggested that he is in the market for a new winger.

Sarri revealed earlier in the season that he is unlikely to be active during the January window, but the Blues have recently suffered a number of injuries in creative areas.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Pedro and Callum Hudson-Odoi have all spent time on the sidelines over the Christmas period, and Sarri has indicated that he may bring in a fresh face in the final third.

The Italian is quoted by The Telegraph as saying: "I think that at the moment I don't need another striker.

"Maybe another winger, because now we are in trouble with the injuries of Pedro, of Hudson-Odoi, Loftus-Cheek. At the moment I have no option for the wingers."

Chelsea have been heavily linked with an approach for Borussia Dortmund's Christian Pulisic.
