Boss refuses to confirm Cesar deal is close
Chelsea boss Roberto Di Matteo has refused to confirm reports the club are on the verge of signing Cesar Azpilicueta from Marseille.
The Spain right-back is said to be close to agreeing a move to Stamford Bridge and has made it clear he wants to join the Blues.
But Di Matteo said: “No, there is no news – nothing at all. There’s nothing to say about the speculation going around.
“We are not going to have any have new players before tomorrow’s game [against Reading].”
Di Matteo confirmed that Ramires has been passed fit for Tuesday’s match after missing the win at Wigan because of illness, but summer signing Marko Marin is still out.
