Three reasons why Matias Vecino would be a good signing for Chelsea

Sarri linked with Inter Milan midfielder

It’s a very big season for Chelsea. They finished outside the top four for the second time in three years last season. They’ll be determined to make sure that doesn’t become a trend.

Maurizio Sarri has a big job on his hands in his first year at Stamford Bridge. It’s 4/6 that they make it back into the top four, though there are question marks over key areas of the squad.

The futures of star players Eden Hazard and Thibaut Courtois still need to be resolved. Talented young players like Ruben Loftus- Cheek want to be assured of playing time. And Sarri will look to bring in his own additions.

One player who could be on his way to West London is Matias Vecino. Inter Milan reportedly want £32m for the midfielder.

Speed up Sarriball

Chelsea had a reactive, rigid approach under Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte. Both managers won the title that way, but Sarri will try to implement a totally different gameplan.

The former Napoli boss will want his team to control the game and take the initiative.

It’s going to take some time to get his new players up to speed, but Jorginho will help to implement his ideas. The midfielder was a key member of Sarri’s Partenopei side.

Vecino would be a big help too. He worked with the manager at Empoli and knows exactly what he wants. With Jorginho and Vecino alongside N’Golo Kante in a midfield trio, Chelsea would already be a long way towards putting the manager’s ideas into practice.
