Antonio Conte: Has high hopes for new players

Antonio Conte has expressed delight at Chelsea’s transfer business and has backed his new additions to boost their hopes of success this season.

The Blues, who’d already signed N’Golo Kante and Michy Batshuayi earlier in the window, added Marcos Alonso and David Luiz in the closing days of the transfer window.

And Conte is confident the new signings can play an important part in the campaign ahead.

“They can improve our squad and now it is right to work with David Luiz and Marcus Alonso to put them in our idea of football,” the former Italy national team coach said on Chelsea TV.

“Now we have to work on the defensive situation, on the defensive line.

“We have to work to improve our physical condition, our tactical condition and to try to continue our good season.”
