Abramovich calls selling club for Chelsea’s first January signing
Chelsea are prepared to make their first signing
of the January window after the Premier League
champions got in touch with Lazio regarding the
versatile winger Antonio Candreva.
According to a report from Tuttomercato,
Roman Abramovich has got in touch with Lazio
regarding the transfer and a move is likely when
the winter window opens in a few weeks.
Chelsea are in desperate need of some
attacking options and Mourinho has identified
the versatile Candreva as an ideal solution to
his problems.
The Lazio winger is extremely quick and agile.
Along with his outstanding dribbling, Candreva
possesses a thunderous shot as well.
Furthermore, Candreva’s set piece abilities will
also come in handy from free kicks. The
Chelsea side are severely lacking in goals and
another set piece merchant like Willian will be
more than welcome.
Chelsea winger Eden Hazard has looked badly
out of form and new signing Pedro Rodriguez
has been inconsistent so far. Mourinho is keen
to add another wide man with the hope of
freshening things up.
It remains to be seen if Chelsea manage to
convince Lazio but for the right price Candreva
could be an extremely effective signing for the
Premier League giants.
Chelsea are 16th in the league table and are in
danger of missing out on Champions league
qualification for next season.
Mourinho will hope that his new signing can
adapt to the league immediately and fire
Chelsea back into the top four.
