Conte demands Chelsea OUTSPEND Man City with four more mega money buys

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte wants FOUR more signings made before the summer market deadline falls.

The Sun says Conte still wants Virgil van Dijk from Southampton, Juventus wing-back Alex Sandro and Inter Milan's Antonio Candreva.

The Stamford Bridge boys are also looking at Swansea's veteran Spanish striker Fernando Llorente, 32, and 19-year-old Everton midfielder Tom Davies.

But Brazilian left-back Sandro, 26, remains Conte's top target, while Dutchman Van Dijk, 26, is desperate to quit the Saints.

Chelsea are willing to eclipse the record £217.8m Manchester City have spent so far, although Etihad chiefs may not have ended their splurge.

Conte has signed £65m Real Madrid star Alvaro Morata, Tiemoue Bakayoko from Monaco for £40m, Antonio Rudiger in a £34.2m deal from Roma and Willy Caballero on a free.

But the Italian warns Chelsea MUST keep spending ahead of their return to the Champions League.
