Mertens is a January transfer target for Chelsea

And, with Alvaro Morata and Olivier Giroud currently failing to fire for the Blues, a reunion could be on the cards.According to CalcioMercato.com, Sarri wants to bring the Belgium international to Stamford Bridge having already convinced Jorginho to swap Naples for west London.Speaking to The Times, the 31-year-old heaped praise on his former boss ahead of Napoli’s Champions League defeat to Liverpool.He said: “Sarri does not have an off button. I think he sleeps one hour a night and he is always thinking about football.2

The duo enjoyed a productive relationship in Naples together

Maybe because he had less time because he arrived late in the game and he is playing catch-up? I learnt a lot from him.Mertens added: The thing I loved most about him is that you feel you are playing with 12 not 11. He puts the line very high so the strikers feel the midfielders are close.Im sure now Sarri is learning things about London. He knows so many facts, hes crazy but interesting.
