Big Phil To Bring In Winger?

Luiz Felipe Scolari is reportedly looking to bring in a winger to Stamford Bridge during this January transfer window to fill the void left by Joe Cole, with Jermaine Pennant at Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur's David Bentley being linked to the Premier League club.
The Blues are a little light on the flanks, after Cole was ruled out for the rest of the season, after damaging his knee ligament's during last week’s FA Cup replay against Southend United.
Shaun Wright-Phillips left last summer to return to Manchester City, which means that Scolari has just Florent Malouda, Salomon Kalou and the inexperienced Miroslav Stoch at his disposal.
According to reports in The Sun, Chelsea are keeping an eye on Reds winger Pennant and former Arsenal player Bentley.
With the board allowing the manager a very meagre amount to spend during this transfer window, Big Phil is hoping that they at least allow him to bring in the players on loan.
The Brazilian is known to have strong interest in 26-year old Pennant, however Chelsea will have to work smart and fast if they are to sign him, as Pennant is reportedly on the brink of completing a transfer to Portsmouth.
On the other hand, Bentley might be an easier target as the winger has been seen struggling at White Hart Lane ever since joining Spurs last summer from Blackburn Rovers
