Chelsea boss Antonio Conte admits he wants more signings made.

Conte complained his squad was the smallest among the top six clubs last term and is worried about a lack of numbers once again, especially with the Champions League to contend with on top of the three domestic cup competitions.

He said: "If you remember when I spoke last season I told you: 'Look, we are in a situation that we lost a lot of big players.' A lot of big players that were fundamental at Chelsea.

"Now we are at one point where we need to rebuild again these fundamentals because you can see that we do not have many players.

"Now it's very important to try to find the players with the right characteristic and also to buy young players to create this momentum for the present and also for the future, to create something for Chelsea.

"For sure we need to improve the quality and to improve our squad because next season will be very tough for us.

"We arrived at this moment after finishing last season where I utilised only 13 players regularly and we won the League and arrived at the final of the FA Cup.

"Chelsea is a great team and must try every season to fight until the end to win the competition.

"This season the target is the same but it won't be easy because you can see Manchester City, Manchester United, the other teams as well are trying to reinforce themselves and I repeat we are changing a lot. More from necessity, not because I wanted to change."
