Maurizio Sarri has claimed that Chelsea could do with a winger in the January transfer window but they aren’t in the market for a striker.
The Blues two strikers Alvaro Morata and Olivier Giroud have struggled in front of goal this season, scoring six Premier League goals between them this term, with Eden Hazard their main contributor at the top of the pitch.
Gonzalo Higuain has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge among other strikers, while there have been rumours that Chelsea could ask for Michy Batshuayi and Tammy Abraham to return from their loan spells.
When asked if he will recall Batshuayi or Abraham from their loan deals, Sarri replied: “No [I don’t need another striker], because I have the option with Hazard in this position.
“We have Morata and Hazard can play very well in this position as we have seen in the last two, three matches. So I think that in this moment I don’t need another striker
“Maybe another winger, because now we are in trouble with the injuries of Pedro, of [Callum] Hudson-Odoi and [Ruben] Loftus-Cheek. So I have the option for the striker [Hazard] but at the moment I have no option for the wingers.”
