Here is the daily roundup of Chelsea news, gossip and transfer talk from icfootballnews.

Arsenal legend Arsene Wenger has told Maurizio Sarri how to get the best out of midfielder N’Golo Kante.

Despite being rated the best holding midfielder in world football and successfully helping Chelsea to two Premier League titles and France to a world Cup crown, Sarri has decided that Kante is no longer the man he wants in a deep lying position and instead has used Jorginho.

Jorginho arrived in the summer after months of speculation and Sarri believes he is the bets man to protect the back-line, despite the fact he has had a very tough first season in the Premier League.

And after seeing Chelsea get knocked out by Manchester United in the FA Cup, Wenger has told Sarri that Kante is being played in the wrong position.

Wenger said on the Metro website: ‘Phenomenal. To have a successful team you need to have somebody, or some players, who sacrifice themselves for the team. Don’t talk, do it.

‘When you lose the ball in front of you, he just works for you to win it back and he gives it back in the proper way.

‘People who have maybe a smaller ego, but a bigger spirit of sacrifice, usually they make the difference.

‘We spoke about Brazil, in Brazil they had a player that I bought, Gilberto Silva, who had a similar role in 2002 in the success of the Brazilian national team in Japan.’

Meanwhile, Long-term transfer target Marcelo seems to be heading for the exit signs at Real Madrid.

Marcelo held an hour-long meeting with Real Madrid’s sporting director Jose Angel Sanchez on Monday to discuss his future at the Bernabeu, according to Cadena COPE in Spain.

The Brazilian full-back has made just 13 la liga appearances this season for the Spaniards and there has been a lot of transfer talk that Chelsea could challenge Juventus for his services at the end of the season, if he decides to leave.

Chelsea are in need of adding a few world class players to the side and with rumours Marco Alonso is a target for Barcelona, they may need a ready-made replacement.

Chelsea target Julian Weigl has hinted he could be up for leaving Borussia Dortmund in the summer.

Chelsea are all set to lose a number of players during the summer transfer window as Eden Hazard is linked with a move to Real Madrid, N’Golo Kante is on the radar or PSG, Willian is being eyed up by Barcelona and Mateo Kovacic will see his loan end at the end of the season.

That has led to reports that Chelsea could make a move for Dortmund star Weigl, who is regarded as one of the finest players in the Bundesliga and was linked with a move away from the Germans, who blocked his sale after agreeing a deal with Chelsea for Christian Pulisic.

And although he feels Borussia Dortmund blocking a January move showed the club’s ‘appreciation’ of him, he was coy when asked if he will see out the remainder of his contract, which lasts until 2021 – according to Bild.

“You will see,” Weigl said.

“I cannot say what’s going on in the summer.”

French football expert Julien Laurens has claimed Zinedine Zidane would be open to making a move to Chelsea.

Zidane has become a top transfer target for Chelsea over the past few weeks as speculation continues to grow that under-fire boss Maurizio Sarri is heading for the exit signs after a poor run of results.

Chelsea will have a big battle on their hands to get back into a top four spot after losing 6-0 to Manchester City a few weeks ago, while they are now out of the FA Cup after Manchester United picked up a comfortable 2-0 victory on Monday night.

And Laurens has claimed Zidane would be interested in a move to Chelsea, but his lack of English may make any move impossible to complete.

“I think we need to see it from his point of view in the sense that would this be a project that interests him?” Laurens said on ESPN FC.

“I think the idea of coaching one of the big clubs in the Premier League of course is appealing to him.

“There’s a few issues there, the language, and we talked about it before when he was linked with Manchester United as well.

“Zinedine Zidane is a manager who works a lot on man-management. They’re not all like this but he is very much like this.

“And the language, he doesn’t speak a word of English, I think he would see it as a problem to get his message across to the players.

“But also the way he man-manages all his players, all his dressing room to make everybody feel important, for example like he did in Madrid. That would be an issue.

“The fact that he won’t like the lack of stability at Chelsea with managers coming in and coming out very regularly – two years for [Antonio] Conte, maybe even less for Sarri.

“That’s something he doesn’t like and enjoy, that kind of spirit.

“So there are a lot of things I am not sure he will be so keen on.

“However, Chelsea are a huge club and he will obviously be interested in a big club and the Premier League is a league that interests him very much.”

Inter president Steven Zhang inists there is “no chance” Chelsea target Mauro Icardi will be joining Juventus.

The striker has recently been stripped of the captaincy at Inter and has been left out of subsequent squads, with reports he has refused to play for the Italian club again this season as he seeks a big money move away, with Juventus, Chelsea and Real Madrid all interested.

Chelsea may have acquired Gonzalo Higuaín in the January window but he has failed to adapt to life in the Premier League and has only netted two goals since his arrival, which is not what boss Maurizio Sarri expected after getting the deal confirmed.

And they have been given a huge boost after Inter president Zhang said he won’t be joining their Italian rivals, as reported by AS.

“In football, you can never say never to business with Juventus. However, in this specific case there’s no chance that Icardi will go to Juventus.

“We talked a lost last week, we want to say enough about this story.

“We’re negotiating a renewal with Inter, but our philosophy is that the group is always greater than the individual.

“Our market campaign net summer will be better than the last one.”
