Maurizio Sarri is confident of keeping Eden Hazard, Thibaut Courtois and Willian in Chelsea and plans to speak to the players when they come back to training later this month.

Belgian internationals Hazard and Courtois were strongly linked to transfers to Real Madrid, while Brazil's Willian would be a target for Barcelona.

Speaking after his first game while Chelsea 's manager finished on a 1-0 win against Perth Glory, the Italian told Sky Sports News: "It' s a pleasure to be back. to have Courtois, to have Willian, but) does not only depend on me So we have to wait, but I'm confident. "

Sarri has a lot to do at Stamford Bridge, the club's failure to qualifying for the Champions League has not helped his cause to convince key players to stay.

PERIPHERAL

Defender David Luiz, who became a peripheral figure under the direction of Antonio Conte last season, played the 90 minutes in Perth while he's trying to put his career back on rails.

"I think the press sells players every year, they buy players, they sell players," said Sarri.

"I hope the trio can stay because they are fantastic players, fantastic talents and we need the best players in Chelsea."

Sarri was unlikely to impose his tactics or philosophy on his new team after the club left Down Under just after its unveiling last week.

Pedro scored the only goal of Optus Stadium, five minutes from the net.

While N & # 39; Golo Kante, Gary Cahill and Andreas Christensen were among the other notable absentees, 56 M € (50 M £) Jorginho made his debut.

Meanwhile, Richarlison underwent medical treatment at Everton yesterday before his proposed transfer of £ 45m (£ 40m) to Watford.
