Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti has three major stars in his Christmas shopping list for the January transfer window.
Blues owner Roman Abramovic has promised the Italian of fundings to boost the faltering squad as they seek to get their title defence back on track.
The reigning champions are currently in their longest winless streak in a decade and have dropped down from top spot to fourth in the league.
And according to the Daily Mirror newspaper, Ancelotti has pin-pointed three players whom he wants at Stamford Bridge in January.
However, all three have recently signed new deals at their respective clubs.
Newcastle striker Andy Carroll, regarded as the up-and-coming England number nine, has signed a five-year-contract to remain at St James Park two months ago.
But Ancelotti is not put off by that and sees the 21-year-old as a replacement for Didier Drogba.
Bayern Munich midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger have dashed the hopes of many suitors by penning a four-year contract with the German giants - but not the Chelsea boss.
Likewise, Dutch midfield maestro Wesley Sneijder has extended his contract with Inter Milan by a further two years.
Despite the apparent setback, Ancelotti is adamant he can still get his men as the clubs will not rule out selling their players at the right price.
