Chelsea boss Antonio Conte wants to add Andreas Christensen to his squad next season.

The Daily Mail says the Borussia Monchengladbach loan star is set to slot into the Blues' first-team squad.

Christensen has spent the past two seasons on loan in Germany, racking up almost 70 senior appearances and drawing widespread acclaim.

Chelsea are prepared to quote a hefty asking price if anyone interested in signing Christensen comes calling.

Conte has been linked with a host of potential defensive recruits since succeeding Jose Mourinho in the Stamford Bridge hotseat.
