Chelsea are interested in £25m midfielder who models his game on Andrea Pirlo
Chelsea have made a productive start to the season under Enzo Maresca’s stewardship.
The Blues reside in fourth place having won four of their opening seven games playing a possession𓂃-based styꦍle of play.
Maresca’s men have surprise🍨d many critics and the consensus is that a return to the Champions League is more than feasible.
To help them in that goal, Chelsea are now looking at a h𓆉ighly-rated midfielder i🍌n Italy ahead of the January transfer window.

Chelsea interested in Samuele Ricci
According to , Chelsea ar🦩e interested in Torino midfielder Samuele Ricci.
The Italy international is also att🌜racting inte♔rest from Manchester City and AC Milan, so evidently competition is rife.
Ricci, who models his game on Andrea Pirlo per , is valued at around £25m and some reports have already sꦏ▨uggested that City are in talks to sign him – as they look for a replacement for the injured Rodri.
Meanwhile, claim it’s unlikely Chelsea will formalise their int🌠erest in Ricci as Maresca is happy with his current options.
The former Leicester City boss worked t꧙irelessly to trim his squad in the summer and had to deal with backlash for certain decisions he made, including the exclusion of Ben Chilwell and Raheem Sterling, who is now on loan at Arsenal.
Chelsea should allocate funds towards a striker
If Chelsea are to bring in anyone th♎is Janaury, it 💧should be a striker.
Maresca’s only specialist ceཧntre-forward is Nicolas Jackson, who can be hit and miss at times, so they should perhaps target Sporting’s Viktor Gyokeres.
Gyokeres has continued his prolific form into t💧his season, n༺etting 12 times in 11 appearances so far, alerting interest from Arsenal.
TBR Football reported last month that Gyokeres is open to a move to London.
