Chelsea coach Antonio Conte has proposed to Roman Abrahamovich that he needs five new players if Chelsea wants to win the league in the coming season
In a two-hour meeting involving Chelsea billionaire, Director Marina Granovskaia and Technical Director Michael Emenalo, Conte made his demands known having spotted the lapses in the team following the two friendlies games played so far. Conte pointed out that the Blues will need drastic improvement in all departments of the team to make Chelsea challengers again
According to reports, it was understood that Abrahamovich walked away from meeting looking less impressed from the outcome.
Chelsea failed to invest sufficiently last summer and had a disastrous season, finishing 10th a season after they cruised to the league title. Despite spending wholesomely on striker £33million Michy Batshuayi and £30million midfielder N’Golo Kante, Conte wants more. Radjar Nainggolan and Leonardo Bonucci are also prime targets for Conte but there uncertainties about Alvafro Morata as Real Madrid are stated that they are not letting go. Abrahomvich is ready to support Conte with the Italian’s concerns about Chelsea missing out on top four is what is required from the Stamfrod Bridge officials.
