Chelsea target Daniele Rugani has started crash course to learn English ahead of a potential move to London in the New Year.
Rugani has a contract with Juventus until 2021 and is expected to cost in excess of £30million to lure away from The Old Lady.
The player is frustrated at his lack of playing time, however, and has experienced Maurizio Sarri’s coaching before.
Both Italians spent two seasons together at Empoli, where Rugani proved a vital cog in Sarri’s defence, playing 81 games across two seasons.
A move collapsed at the last minute, however, when he decided to stay in Turin.
Blues boss Maurizio Sarri is still keen on doing a deal, though.
The Italian manager will make another bid for Rugani’s services in the New Year and this time is confident of being successful.
However, Chelsea face competition for Rugani, with Arsenal also keen.
