Sarri: ‘Chelsea need another striker’

By Football Italia staff

Chelsea Coach Maurizio Sarri admits “we need something else” up-front, amid links to Milan’s Gonzalo Higuain.

The striker is on loan with the Rossoneri from Juventus, with an option to buy for €36m at the end of the season.

Pipita has struggled for goals though, and there has been speculation he could reunite with the man who brought the best out of him at Napoli.

“The club knows my opinion,” Sarri said after last night’s 0-0 draw with Southampton.

“I think we need something else for our characteristics. It depends on the board, not on me.

“I have to think of my responsibility with the training. I have to try to improve my players in the offensive phase. We played a good match for 80 metres, then we were in trouble in the last 20 metres.

“We have to try to solve the problem. We were in control of every match recently, but it was not easy to score the first goal.”
