Scolari urges Chelsea to give him more cash

Chelsea boss Phil Scolari has asked the club chiefs for money to spend on new players in the January transfer window.

Blues owner Roman Abramovich and chief executive Peter Kenyon insists they will not spend any money in the January transfer window.

Scolari is desperate to bring in a new striker in January.

A source close to the Brazilian told the Sun: “Sometimes the best way to re-energise a team is to inject fresh blood, that’s all he asked for.

“Felipe was promised funds to buy before he joined. Everyone knows he wanted Robinho and what happened there.

“He knows financial situations have changed. But he is not asking for £20million, just a reasonable amount to get a new player in.”
