Enzo Maresca, the Chelsea manager, has said the club will only buy players who accept their conditions.
Maresca was speaking to the media about their failure to get a striker in the summer transfer window.
The Blues were in talks for Napoli’s Victor Osimhen until deadline day.
The transfer did not happen eventually, with multiple reports claiming Osimhen was not willing to accept a pay cut.
Maresca was only able to bring in Marc Guiu, a teenage striker from Barcelona and has Nicolas Jackson as his first-choice striker.
After the 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace on Sunday, Maresca said: “We want players, but we wanted a player that we decide it has to be on our conditions.
“If a player is not here, then it was not.
“New striker in January? We will see.”
