Sarri targets Vecino and Callejon transfers as he prepares to be announced by Chelsea

The former Napoli head coach, who is still technically emplyed by the club, is planning his coaching staff and potential signings ahead of becoming the coach at Stamford Bridge.

It is reported that former Chelsea midfielder Gianfranco Zola is already set to become a part of the Italian's coaching team following his departure from a World Cup punditry job for South African TV.

Sarri's former co-worker at Empoli, Giovanni Martusciello, is also thought to be in his plans as he tries to put his own stamp on the back-room personnel at the club.

In terms of players, Sarri is also turning his attention to the Serie A, wanting to bring former Real Madrid winger José Callejon to the Premier League, after having worked with the player at Napoli.

Inter are another club with whom the Italian coach wants to do business, in particular regarding their Urguyan midfielder Matias Vecino. The player, who is currently representing his country in Russia, made 31 appearances for the Milanese club in all competitions, after having joined them from Fiorentina last summer.

It seems as though if and when Sarri becomes the new manager of the Blues, he will be wanting to bring wholesale changes to the FA Cup champions.
