Antonio Conte gave an ample press-conference today ahead of Chelsea’s second Premier League match this season, as the Blues will be traveling to Watford on Saturday.
The manager believes tomorrow’s game will be a perfect chance for Chelsea to build on their confidence early in the campaign, after winning the first game against West Ham on Monday night.
Despite claiming all the three points in the season opener at Stamford Bridge, Conte is not completely satisfied with the squad, as he wants to add more players to their ranks, Daily Mail reports.
It’s very difficult to speak about the transfer policy before the game. It’s important to speak about the players with the club at the right moment.
I repeat, we are waiting for the right solution to improve Chelsea. We need to sign some players, we are working together.
So far the Italian has only added Michy Batshuayi and N’Golo Kanté to his rejuvenated Chelsea team, and is hungry for more new signings.
I think now is very difficult to put a real target for the squad. We are starting after a bad season, the players are the same [as last season].
One of the departing parties this summer could still be the Colombian winger Juan Cuadrado, who is currently being linked with another loan spell at Juventus, as Loic Remy on the other hand is closing in to a Crystal Palace loan.
The transfer policy is right to speak to the club. I have contact every day and I repeat that we must search to find the sort of solution to buy and to sell.
For Cuadrado, we are waiting on the situation. It must become more clear about his position at the club. Now he is Chelsea’s player and today he had training with us.
Talking about new signings, Chelsea are reportedly in advanced talks to sign Real Madrid midfielder James Rodriguez, and are awaiting on Napoli’s decision to sell their top defender Kalidou Koulibaly, who the West London side made a record-breaking bid for.
