Chelsea´s cheque book not closed yet

Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo has not ruled out further forays into the transfer market, but declined to name specific targets for his side.

The European champions have already spent big during the off-season, bringing in Lille attacker Eden Hazard and Werder Bremen midfielder Marko Marin for a reported combined total of 40 million pounds – with a move for highly rated Porto striker Hulk also touted.

Di Matteo, who led Chelsea to FA Cup and Champions League glory after taking the job on an interim basis in February, was full of praise for his new signings but remained tight-lipped on any potential future new recruits.

“Hazard is a wonderful player, a fantastic player and has achieved a lot at such a young age, winning the Ligue 1 player of the year,” Di Matteo said.

“Marin is another talented young player who can play in a variety of positions, which is helpful for the team.

“I’m pretty happy with the team but we will look at the market and if there are any opportunities to improve the team then we will pursue it.”

However Di Matteo, who recently penned a full-time two-year deal, refused to be drawn on individuals, for fear of raising the asking price.

“I am not going to discuss our targets. Every time you say something the price goes up,” the Italian said.
