According to The Sun, Maurizio Sarri is keen on signing Inter Milan defender Milan Skriniar in January. The Slovakia defender is currently valued at £70 million.

Sarri is said to be unsatisfied with the way his squad has performed this season. He wishes to add fresh legs in the defensive department.

David Luiz will turn 32 by the end of the season and Gary Cahill is already rumoured to be leaving the club. Meanwhile, Andreas Christensen has fallen down the pecking order under the Italian tactician.

Chelsea will face stiff competition from Premier League rivals Manchester United for Skriniar. The Red Devils are also desperate to bolster their defence by adding the Inter star to their roster.
