New Genoa coach Shevchenko targets Chelsea attacker Pulisic, Man City's Zinchenko

New Genoa coach Andriy Shevchenko is targeting two Premier League players for the January market.

Shevchenko replaced Davide Ballardini in the Grifone's dugout and has his work cut out for him as the club is hovering in 17th position - just a place above the relegation zone.

Secolo XIX says the AC Milan legend has been reassured by the owners that investment will be made to boost his new squad.

The Ukrainian head coach is determined to raise the bar at the Luigi Ferraris with some high-profile additions and is looking into his former club Chelsea.

The 45-year-old is reportedly keeping tabs on Christian Pulisic, who recently returned from injury.

The 2004 Ballon d'Or winner is also looking into some of Ukraine's best following his five-year stint as the national team's manager.

Thus, Shevchenko is also monitoring Oleks Zinchenko who is struggling for minutes at Manchester City.
