Sarri Insist To Keep Duo To Boost Squad Depth

The Blues are in the quest for four trophies this season, and with that in mind, the Italian tactician will need a squad with depth to ensure that he has the options to rotate and rest players.

In turn, he’ll hope to keep his current squad in tact until the end of the season, at which point he can then strengthen where necessary to further stamp his own mark on the squad.

According Sky Sports, Cesc Fabregas reportedly now wants to sign a new contract with Chelsea as he has filled Sarri with praise and is seems desperate to continue under sarri.

With his current contract set to expire at the end of the season, not only does a January exit now look unlikely, but the club may even choose to extend his stay if Sarri believes that the Spanish stalwart can still play a key role for him.

“I’m learning a lot from him, it’s really interesting how he works and I’m really looking forward to working for a long time with him,” he said.

Meanwhile, there has also been change of heart in Gary Cahill, as noted by the Evening Standard. After struggling to make an appearance in Sarri’s line-up in the early parts of the campaign, things have improved for the 32-year-old in recent times and which could convince him to stay.

Like Fabregas, the Cahill's contract expires next summer. Whether his performance this season can convince Sarri to offer him a new deal remains the question, but for now, it sounds like a January exit due to a lack of playing time is no longer a threat which could leave Chelsea short at the back and that will strengthen their bid to win silverwares this season and seasons to come
