Chelsea are on the hunt for a replacement for Cesc Fabregas, who was sold to Monaco for £10million on Friday. Zenit St-Petersberg midfielder Paredes had been high on Chelsea’s potential candidates to replace Fabregas. And Gazzetta dello Sport journalist Nicolo Schira has now claimed Paredes has agreed a five-year deal worth £77k per week. “Chelsea wants to close Leandro Paredes from Zenit,” Schira tweeted. “Marina Granovskaia has offered €30 million for him and awaits an answer. “He wants to leave from Russia: agreement to sign a contract until 2023 (€4.5 million per year).” Paredes had dropped a major hint himself that he was making the switch to Stamford Bridge on Saturday. He retweeted a tweet to his 141,000 followers that included a ‘welcome to Chelsea video’. Chelsea beat Newcastle 2-1 on Saturday though struggled in midfield with Jorginho failing to impress. And Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri confirmed he needs another midfielder following Fabregas’s departure but has admitted he’s unsure whether he will get one. "Today Jorginho was in trouble and on the bench there wasn't a player for that position so I need a player for that position," Sarri said. "I have no idea [if we will sign a replacement]. "The club knows very well my opinion. I need a player there so it depends on the club's decision. "I cannot do any more." Cagliari ace Nicola Barella has also been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge. Chelsea will be hoping of securing a deal ahead of Saturday’s trip to Arsenal (5.30pm).
