Chelsea are close to confirming Maurizio Sarri as their next manager and will immediately turn their focus to making up ground in the transfer market. Sarri is likely to sign a two-year contract that will include the option of a third year, bringing an end to Antonio Conte’s time at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea are believed to be paying around £4.5million to release Sarri from Napoli after a contractual dispute caused a delay and slowed down their transfer activity. The club are yet to sign or sell a player this summer but will look to finally bring in new bodies as they target Champions League qualification next season.
Sarri could raid his old club for Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly, who has been targeted by the Blues before. His team-mate, striker Dries Mertens, is also an option while Chelsea still hold an interest in Manchester United forward Anthony Martial.
