Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has given a very exciting promise to all Blues fans ahead of the start of the summer transfer window, as the Italian manager has noted the importance of signing new big players to be able to success in Europe next season.
The Blues clinched their return to the Champions League last week and are just two wins away from triumphing the Premier League title in the remaining four fixtures.
The squad has been fantastic throughout the campaign, but Conte is aware that it’s too thin to compete in Europe next term, and needs to sign plenty of new players to develop the depth in the Blues team.
“Don’t forget that Tottenham dropped out of the Champions League at the first group stage, and then dropped out in the first round of the Europa League (knock-out stage).
If you consider the amount of our games and their games, there is a difference of what, eight games?
But if you consider the squads, the numbers in each squad, you can see the difference: one team prepared to play the Champions League with 25 or 26 players, and another who prepared to play the League, the FA Cup and the League Cup.
Do we need more players? Yes for sure.”

Chelsea have so far been linked with a new forward, a wing-back, a centre-mid and defenders, with club owner Roman Abramovich set to allow Conte to spend big this summer.
