According to reports emerging from Italy, Chelsea are closing in
on the capture of Napoli
playmaker Marek Hamsik in a
deal that said to be in the region of £30m. Carlo Ancelotti is
looking to build the makings of a new generation as the backbone of
the Stamford Bridge squad begin to reach the end of their careers
and with that in mind wants to sign the impressive Slovakian
international.
Chelsea have been scouting the former Brescia man for some time
and having brought in David Luiz and Fernando Torres in January,
Roman Abramovich is ready to flex his financial muscle once again
with a big money move for the 23 year old.
With the likes of Didier Drogba, John Terry, Frank Lampard,
Nicolas Anelka and Ashley Cole all aged 30+ and a number of other
first team regulars similarly getting on in years, the Blues know
they have to look to reassemble the squad with long term goals in
mind.
Hamsik has become something of a cult hero at Napoli and now in his fourth season at the
Naples club he has become a goalscoring midfield provider
considered one of the best foreign imports to Serie A in recent
years and his consistent displays have helped make the Stadio San
Paolo side genuine title contenders some twenty years plus since
their last domestic league triumph.
