Conte pushes Chelsea to buy all six of his transfer wishes

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has pushed management to land all six of his transfer targets this summer.

The London Evening Standard says Conte wants six new signings at Chelsea this summer as he prepares for Champions League football next season.

Chelsea are hopeful of finalising moves for Monaco midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko and Everton striker Romelu Lukaku.

While Chelsea are said to have already agreed terms with goalkeeper Willy Caballero, who is available on a free following his departure from Manchester City.

Conte is also desperate to sign a new centre-back, with Southampton's Virgil van Dijk and Juventus' Leonardo Bonucci on his wishlist.

And another attacking midfielder is also a priority, with Leicester's Riyad Mahrez being considered after failing to sign Napoli's Dries Mertens.
