We would sign a player in January, Sarri announces.

Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has revealed that he could sign one player ahead of the upcoming transfer window scheduled to begin as from January 1.

The Italian tactician spoke about a potential January signing while he was conducting his pre-match press conference on Friday afternoon ahead of the huge Premier League clash with leaders Manchester City.

Sarri, however, pointed out that he wants his players to adapt to a new mentality and a new style of playing before any signing.

It promises to be an entertaining game between two managers who share similar football philosophies.

The Blues would be hoping to bounce back from their recent wobbles when they host Manchester City at Stamford Bridge on Saturday evening.

Chelsea have lost two of the last three league games in addition to the fact that the Blues have won just one of their last four games in the Premier League.

Maurizio Sarri and his players can’t afford to lose the game to avoid falling further behind their opponents.

Defeat would send Chelsea 13 points adrift of a Manchester City side missing the star duo of Sergio Aguero and Kevin De Bruyne with respective injuries.
