Enzo Maresca makes startling Chelsea admission - 'It's been a disaster'

Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca has said that January so far has been a “disaster” for the club as speculation about the future of several squad members continues. The Blues have not won a Premier League game in more than a month with Tuesday’s 2-2 draw at home to Bournemouth a missed opportunity to close the gap on league leaders Liverpool.
Instead Maresca’s team appear to face a battle for a top four spot and, speaking ahead of Monday’s game against Wolves at Stamford Bridge, he believes the noise around the transfer window is not helping. “On the pitch, for sure I would like to win more games, but I’m OK,” said Maresca, whose team have not won in the league since beating Brentford on December 14. “Off the pitch it’s a disaster because so many noises that I don’t think help us, but I don’t think they help any club.
“It’s for every club, every manager. When there is any noise about some player, it’s not easy, because even if you think the player can be focussed on us, in the end it’s a human being. So if there is any noise about some different club, probably he is not focussed a hundred per cent, so it doesn’t help. But we need to adapt.”.
Defender Renato Veiga was reported to be in discussions with Borussia Dortmund on Monday whilst the head coach has also faced questions on the future of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. Ben Chilwell, Carney Chukwuemeka and Cesare Casadei have all been told they are free to find new clubs this month with few, if any, opportunities available to play.
