Chelsea close in on next two signings

Chelsea cruised to victory at Wembley with Marcos Alonso scoring a late winner to see off Spurs. However, the match evinced the struggles Conte's side face, particularly in midfield.

For that reason, the Italian manager wants new signings as soon as possible, with Danny Drinkwater and Antonio Candreva the top targets to boost Chelsea's midfield.

The Leicester man has been chased by the Blues in the past and, with both clubs deep in negotiations, the 'Mirror' revealed that a deal had been struck, worth around £30 million.

The Italy international is wanted by Chelsea due to his versatility. When manager of the national team, Conte used him both in the middle of the park and out wide. The 30-year-old, who could be a back-up for Victor Moses, would cost around £25 million.
