Chelsea owner Abramovich, Conte furious over poor summer market

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is demanding answers after a disappointing summer market.

Romelu Lukaku rejected a return to Stamford Bridge to link up with Jose Mourinho again at Manchester United.

A fee was agreed with Arsenal for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain but he decided to join Liverpool.

Manager Antonio Conte is also fuming. He has a limited role in the club's transfer policy and wants explanations for the failure to sign key targets.
