The life in Premier League has begun in a stunning fashion for Chelsea's 6th Italian manager Maurizio Sarri as the West London outfit stretched their unbeaten start to 12 in the Premier League and the 59-year-old tactician has become the best debutant manager in the Premier League history.

The Maurizio Sarri revolution is showing substantial tangible results, and eventually, optimism is infectious in West London. But Guardiola's relentless Manchester City are showing no signs of stopping and have recently beaten their arch-rivals Manchester United by three goals to one in an electrifying Manchester Derby at Etihad last time out. While Liverpool have also enjoyed an unbeaten start to the 2018-19 campaign and is keeping pace at the top. We could be in for the most fierce title race in the Premier League's history this campaign.

Eventually, Maurizio Sarri may use January transfer window to bolster their squad to sustain in the race for the title.

Here are the three high profile players for whom Chelsea may swoop for in the January transfer window to add further trait of creativity to the squad.

#3 Nabil Fekir

Lyon's captain and 2018 World Cup winner, Nabil Fekir appeared to land at the Red Half of Merseyside in the preceding summer transfer window after reportedly agreeing on terms only before the French outfit sensationally put an end to the tedious transfer saga by releasing a statement.

But more recently, Chelsea have shown interest to sign the highly rated forward. Fekir, 25, no doubt has an immense talent and has emerged as a classy forward in recent times. Generally, the Frenchman piles his trade as a no.10 player but also can play as a supportive striker or winger.

Nabil Fekir would be an astute signing for the Blues if his deal gets materialized and would inject an immense attacking to trait to the Chelsea squad.

#2 Leon Bailey

The 21-year-old Jamaican prodigy Leon Bailey, after a series of thumping performances for Bundesliga outfit in recent years, has caught the eyes of a host of European elites.

Previously, it was reported that the wing forward wants a move to the Stamford Bridge in order to prove himself at higher stages.

Bailey had a fascinating 2017-18 season with the Bay Arena club having found the back of the net 12 times in 34 fixtures in all competitions and predominately a stunning back-heel goal against Hoffenheim illuminated his charisma as a propitious forward and warned the top European clubs about what he could bring to their squads.

Both Pedro and Willian have turned the 30s and eventually, Leon Bailey's blockbuster move to London may make sense. But however, Maurizio Sarri's Chelsea may face a fierce competition in an attempt to land the Jamaican as league rivals Liverpool and Arsenal have also shown interest in Bailey.

#1 Christian Pulisic

Christian Pulisic, 20 is a propitious American talent and has an immense potential to offer a long-term solution for both the left and right flanks for Chelsea.

However, the American has made only four appearances for Borussia Dortmund this season as English prodigy Jadon Sancho has remained a favourite choice for the boss Lucien Favre. The winger is set to be out of contract in 2020 and recently has denied anew from the Bundesliga outfit and moreover, reports have also claimed that Chelsea has won the race for the winger.

Christian Pulisic, 20 boasts an immense skill set and outrageous passes to the frontline and his agility have become specialities of the youngster.

Christian Pulisic would be a stellar signing for the blues and would be an ideal man to add further trait of agility but Chelsea may need to break their bank as Borussia Dortmund have put a £70 price tag on him.
