Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca says he is happy with his squad but would not rule out a move for Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho in January. Representatives for the 20-year-old were in attendance as Chelsea beat Wolves at Stamford Bridge on Monday amid reports the club hold an interest.
Maresca, who is likely to be without Mykhailo Mudryk for an extended period as the Ukrainian awaits the outcome of an FA investigation into doping, handed a Premier League debut to academy graduate Tyrique George during the 3-1 win, after being left with only three available senior wide forwards.
Noni Madueke, Pedro Neto and Jadon Sancho have shared between them two wide starting berths in Maresca’s preferred 4-2-3-1 formation since Mudryk has been unavailable, while Joao Felix – whose favoured position is at number 10 – can also operate on the wings.
“I’m happy with what we have in this moment,” said Maresca of the Garnacho reports. “On the right side there’s Pedro and Noni, on the left there’s Jadon. Misha was with us, now he’s not. Tyrique is a young profile that can help us so in this moment we are OK.
“We pay attention (to the market) if something can happen. But 10 days to go, we didn’t do anything, just we called back Trev (Chalobah). We’ll see in the next 10 days if something is going to happen.”. The head coach reiterated that the club are not looking to sell Felix despite the Portugal international being limited largely to substitute appearances in the league.
