Revealed: Antonio Conte’s top four winter transfer targets disclosed

Chelsea are ready to make this winter transfer window a remarkable one for their supporters after it was disclosed by the Daily Star that Italian tactician Antonio Conte is seeking four top players this January transfer window.

The midfield role, left back position, forward and center-half positions have been noted by the tactician as the areas the Premier League Champions need to reinforce so as to compete favourably with runaway leaders Manchester City in the English Premier League.

The Blues are also not odd favourites in the UEFA Champions League as they lock horns with FC Barcelona in the second round.

Frenchman Thomas Lemar, Everton forward Ross Barkley, Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk and Juventus full-back Alex Sandro are the men Antonio Conte are considering to sign next month to occupy very vital roles at the West London club as reported by the Star.

The absence of David Luiz from the Blues first team of recent means Chelsea will need additional players in the position including cover for Spaniard Marcos Alonso on the left wing.

Thomas Lemar will hand the likes of Brazilian attacker Willian and Spaniard Pedro stiff competition while Ross Barkley, so close to signing for the Blues in the summer transfer window, will provide a decent alternative for the head coach when he opts to rest Cesc Fabregas in certain games.
