BlueCo is willing to pay for his signature.

The goals came from all over the pitch, with Axel Disasi, Christopher Nkunku, Noni Madueke, Cole Palmer and Jadon Sancho getting on the scoresheet at St. Mary’s Stadium as Chelsea sealed yet another impressive win on the road.

It was a terrific night of attacking talent from the visitors, who could have scored even more than five, but Maresca was still critical of his players after a slow start on Wednesday night.

“I’m very happy with the five we scored, but I’m not happy about the first 10 or 15 minutes we struggled.” he said Maresca after Chelsea’s 5-1 win over Southampton.

“The reason we struggled is because we set up the game to press them man-to-man, but in the first 15 or 20 minutes, we didn’t press them together. This is a team that if you don’t go man to man then you struggle to get the ball back. After that, we adjusted it and the game was much better, but five goals is enough.

“We said, if you remember from the beginning of the season, the way we were playing with the two wingers, the two attacking midfielders and the No. 9 are responsible for the goals. You can see the goals from Noni, from Cole, from Jadon, from Nico, from Christo – they’re all attacking players, and it’s nice to have everyone involved in the goals.

“I think there are only three or four teams that have conceded less than us. So we are very happy.

One man who didn’t play a part in yesterday’s impressive win was the midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka.

THE £100,000 a week The midfielder is yet to make a single Premier League appearance and reports suggest so Chukwuemeka is very likely to leave Chelsea in January as a result.

Now, journalist Graeme Bailey has this to say Chukwuemeka is pushing to leave Chelsea in January through his agents, with West Ham and Crystal Palace named as contenders for the 20-year-old.

The former Aston Villa gem’s best move is clearly to leave at the next opportunity, considering he is clearly below Maresca’s order, despite praise for his ability in the past.

“I like Carney Chukwuemeka because he’s like an artist on stage.” said the former France defender and World Cup winner Marcel Desailly.

“He’s got the ball. Now’s my moment. Shine. You see the dribble. He’s sure of what he’s going to do and he’s clinical. I like it.”
