Cesc Fabregas feels Antonio Conte is the perfect appointment for the Chelsea Football Club.

The 46-year-old will take the reins at Stamford Bridge this summer after he completes his duties with the Italian nation team and according to Fabregas, Conte will bring with him a hunger to succeed that suits the mentality of the Blues players.

"From what I've heard, and it's probably proved by so many professionals talking about him, he's disciplined, he's a winner and he's a competitor," the Spanish midfielder said on Monday Night Football for Sky Sports.

"That's what we need. Someone that will always be on our back to push us and make us work hard, teaching us new things; the things he wants to do and achieve.

"All I know is that he wants to win straight away. No more transition, no more excuses. He wants to win and for that we'll have to be prepared from day one."
