The biggest Chelsea transfer news right now is on a new striker being targeted this summer, and Maresca has confirmed that he wants one in.

Asked whether the lack of serious competition had harmed Nicolas Jackson’s development, Maresca said: “I’m not able to answer now because I don’t know the other part, if a No 9 was here. For sure, with us, in my personal opinion, he has grown and improved a lot. Now if another No9 was here is it better for him? I don’t know.”

However, when asked whether he wanted someone to provide competition going forward, he said: “100 per cent”.
