Sarri makes surprise statement about Chelsea's new signing

- Maurizio Sarri's side were held to 0-0 scoreline with Southampton at Stamford Bridge

- The Blues manager revealed he was not aware of their new signing until it was a done deal

- Chelsea failed to close the gap on third-placed Manchester City following their draw

Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has revealed he is not aware of the club's new signing, Christian Pulisic until it was done.

The Blues paid a whopping £57.8million to sign the 20-year-old United States star from Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund.

The Italian was asked about the Pulisic's signing after Wednesday's draw against Southampton at Stamford Bridge.

"I didn't know anything about Pulisic yesterday," revealed Sarri. “The club asked my opinion about him one month ago.

"My opinion was positive and today I've known that the deal is done but I didn’t know anything.

“I am not in charge of the market so I have to tend to my matches and play every three days. I can only say my opinion to the club."

The United States international will remain at the Signa Iguna Park until the end of the season before making a return back to the west London club.

The signing does not seem to have helped the Blues misfiring upfront after they were held to a 0-0 draw by the Saints in a Premier League encounter.

The 2016/17 champions missed a chance to close in within a point off third-placed Manchester City who have a game at hand against league-leaders Liverpool.

Sarri's men have scored 12 goals in their last 11 Premier League matches having managed to find the back of the net 26 times in their opening games of the season.

“The club knows very well my opinion," added Sarri. "I think we need something different for characteristics."

“I have to try to improve my players, my team, my offensive base. Our build-up play is very good. Now we have to improve in the last 20 metres.

“The problem is today it was important to change the match and it was impossible."

But the winger who had been linked to Liverpool will be loaned back to the Bundesliga side until the end of the ongoing League season in Europe.
