After the capture of Morata, Chelsea are now looking to add to their already impressive looking squad. The Premier league champions have strengthened in key areas, most notably in midfield and up front.
The additions of Bakayoto and Morata have now made Chelsea strong European contenders, as Conte will look to assault the Champions league with this gifted set of players at his disposal.
But it looks like they are not done yet, as Conte as gone back to Italy to find a winger. Last January, Chelsea had made a deadline day bid for Italy’s Antonio Candreva as a replacement for Oscar.

The thinking is that Candreva would provide competition for Moses in the right back spot. After missing out on Danilo, Conte will now try to add the Italian to his ranks.
Apparently Conte is very confident of sealing the deal, having already worked with Candreva during his spell as the Italy manager. Inter Milan on the other hand do not want to sell the speedy winger.

While they are happy to let go of Perisic, they wish to hold on to Candreva for another season at the very least. The Italian has a release clause of 23 million, something that should not be a problem for the London outfit.
Inter finished a lowly seventh last year, which is why they will not be in Europe all together this season. So no wonder that Candreva himself is very keen on the move to Stamford Bridge.
