Six of Chelsea’s top transfer targets revealed by report
Chelsea are keeping tabs on as many as six different players this summer ahead of Antonio Conte's second season in charge, say reports
Chelsea are keeping tabs on as many as six different players this summer as the Blues prepare to back their manager Antonio Conte in the transfer window, according to reports in the British media.
The Daily Telegraph is reporting that Chelsea hold a firm interest in a number of key players as the west London side prepare for a return to the Champions League next season.
According to the report, Chelsea are interested in signing Romelu Lukaku, Tiemoue Bakayoko, Alex Sandro, Riyad Mahrez, Ross Barkley and Leonardo Bonucci ahead of the 2017-18 campaign.
It remains to be seen how many of those proposed deals Chelsea will be able to get over the line, but the same story claims that the Blues are “confident” that they will secure the signings of striker Lukaku and midfielder Bakayoko this summer.
Chelsea are believed to be on the lookout for a number of new players this summer as Conte looks to bolster his squad ahead of an assault on four competitions next season.
The Italian manager enjoyed a strong debut season in England as he steered the Blues to the Premier League title – but he will be keen to add to his squad as he looks to transform Chelsea into a force to be reckoned with in Europe, too.
