Maurizio Sarri 'keen to bring Napoli players to Chelsea'

Maurizio Sarri is reportedly planning to raid his former club Napoli for summer recruits if he takes over at Chelsea.

The Italian, who has been tipped to replace compatriot Antonio Conte on the Stamford Bridge hotseat, will attempt to bring right-back Elseid Hysaj, midfielder Piotr Zielinski and defender Raul Albiol with him to England if he lands the position, according to the Evening Standard.

The report also states that Kalidou Koulibaly and Jorginho could become Chelsea targets if Sarri joins the club.

Conte, who guided his team to FA Cup glory last season and the Premier League title the season before, remains in charge of the Blues, but is strongly expected to part ways with them this summer.

Sarri is currently a free agent after being replaced by Carlo Ancelotti in Naples.
