Five In, One Out! Antonio Conte’s Summer Plans For Chelsea Revealed In Detail

A trip to Anfield can never be easy but Antonio Conte’s Chelsea side almost managed to take all three points to open a 10 point gap at the top of the table.

The Blues took the lead in the first half at Anfield but gave away a goal to Georginio Wijnaldum in the second half, but they have kept their lead at the top of the table intact, with clubs around them dropping points.

The manager did not spend in the recently finished transfer window but he is evidently unhappy with the squad and is looking to add a few players from Europe.

He has been linked with a number of superstars recently and though January was inactive, a recent report from the Telegraph suggests that Conte is planning a multi-million dollar spending spree in January.

The manager has been looking for a backup striker for Costa but he might be in the market for a first choice striker with the Spaniard recently linked with an exit. The wing-backs and the defense are two other areas that concern Conte while the goalkeeper’s position also needs a bit of attention.

The Italian is close to the title in his first season at the club but he strongly believes that the squad at the Bridge needs serious improvement and has now identified 5 must-buy targets from the club at the end of the season.

With financial proposition not an issue for the club’s Russian owners, Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata, Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk and Celtic forward Moussa Dembele are the prominent names on the list for Conte.

The Spanish striker at the capital city has been in decent form but has not been able to get regular football at the Bernabeu and has been linked with an exit at the end of the season. He is touted as a replacement for Diego Costa in the first team in London.

Moussa Dembele, the Celtic star who is making waves around Europe, is another striking target for the Blues who want him to their backup. Conte has not had to use a 3-5-2 this season but if losing games, that is a system he prefers and reports suggest that Dembele is the man Conte wants to play in this role.

But the biggest coup which can easily happen in the summer is the Southampton powerhouse Virgil van Dijk. The Dutch international is fast growing into one of the best defenders in the league and the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool are also interested in his signature.

However, Conte is confident of landing him in the summer.

The report also suggests that Conte is not planning on extending the contract of the club skipper John Terry.

The English defender has not been used in the Premier League this season but he has spoken about wanting to stay at the Bridge for another year.

However, Telegraph claim that Conte is not going to offer him a contract extension, and wants to replace him with Van Dijk.

Do you think these signings can make Chelsea a European giant for the next few years?
