Chelsea boss Conte willing to sell Batshuayi, David Luiz to fund January signing spree

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is prepared to cash in on David Luiz and Michy Batshuayi this month.

The Times says both players are available to fund the reinforcements - Conte is said to be looking for a left-back, centre-back and striker.

Two of those will be to replace Luiz and Batshuayi, who Conte has deemed unplayable.

Luiz has been linked with Arsenal, Real Madrid, Juventus and AC Milan.

Batshuayi, meanwhile, has never found his way into Conte's good books.

It's unclear who exactly is on Conte's shortlist, although Juventus left-back Alex Sandro continues to be linked with a move to Stamford Bridge.

West Ham striker Andy Carroll, Bayer Leverkusen winger Leon Bailey, Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha and AC Milan defender Leonardo Bonucci has also been linked.
