“A wonderful striker” – Maurizio Sarri name-checks Chelsea target after shaky win

Maurizio Sarri has praised Chelsea’s next European opponents Frankfurt after the Blues’ win over Slavia Prague in the Quarter Finals, and pointed a warning finger towards their next opposition, the Germans.

He said that they are a “great” team, and even went as far as to specifically praise their striker, the “wonderful” Luka Jovic.

Chelsea fans who are dreaming their club will try and sign the Frankfurt forward this summer will be salivating at the idea that Sarri is trying to butter up the Serbian striker.

We’ve been linked with him before, so this wouldn’t change too much. We will certainly get a good enough look when we face them in the semis.

Let’s hope he has a couple of off days. If we defend like we did tonight, he will go absolutely nuts on us next time around. It might be the perfect audition for him, in fact.
