Chelsea signing Marcos Alonso adits he cannot wait to start working with Antonio Conte.

The 25-year-old Spaniard joined the Blues on a five-year deal from Fiorentina on Wednesday and is eager to get started under the Italian tactician.

The left-back told Chelsea TV: "He [Conte] is a great manager.

"I have seen the great work he's done at Juventus and the [Italy] national team in the Euros.

"He likes to work hard and I am just really looking forward to start and to be with the team."
