Chelsea, who host Wolves on Monday night, have been linked with January moves for a whole host of strikers — speculation which Maresca deemed a “disaster” on Friday — but the club are hopeful that Jackson will become more clinical if given time.

Chelsea are set to complete their first sale of the January transfer window as Serie A side Torino have arrived in London for advanced talks, according to reports.

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca says January has been "a disaster" because of ongoing speculation around his players. He believes the transfer window, a notorious time of year for rumours and hearsay, has affected the focus of some of his players and negatively impacted their results.

Maresca has always maintained his team – who have the youngest average age in the league at just under 24 – are not ready to compete for the title, even after they went on a winning spree before Christmas that took them to within two points of the summit.

Enzo Maresca said on Friday managing Chelsea during the January transfer window has been a "disaster", with players unsettled because of speculation linking them with moves away from the London club.

Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca has snapped back at one question asked to him be a reporter ahead of the game against Wolves on Monday. Former Blues striker Chris Sutton has already predicted a potential thrashing of Wolves by Chelsea on Monday night if they can take their chances.

Chelsea appear to be in the market for a new striker - with Enzo Maresca eager to strengthen his options in attacking quarters.
