Chelsea reportedly failed to sign Candreva in the final stages of the January transfer window, with Gazzetta dello Sport claiming that Antonio Conte personally called Inter's director of sport Pie­ro Au­si­lio to submit an offer for the player.




Antonio Conte is confident his players can hold off the challengers in the chasing pack and win the Premier League. But with Chelsea closing in on the Premier League title, Conte said he needed his help on and off the pitch. Reports this week claimed Chelsea captain Terry is willing to consider joining another Premier League club to prolong his top-level career, with the Premier League leaders reportedly informing their captain that he will not be offered a new playing contract. Terry has made just one Premier League appearance since Conte's decision to switch Chelsea to a 3-4-3 formation in late September. LONDON -- Antonio Conte has said John Terry is still a very important player for Chelsea as the club look to keep their hopes of a Double alive with victory over Manchester United in the FA Cup quarterfinals on Monday.


Antonio Conte insisted he would not be distracted by Jose Mourinho's mind games - and then claimed Manchester United's squad was better than Chelsea's. Yet Conte claims United and Manchester City, 10 points adrift in third in the league, have stronger squads than Chelsea. Former Chelsea boss Mourinho's United were beaten 4-0 by Conte's Blues at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League in October. "Manchester United, together (with City), has the best squad in the league," Conte added. That was the last time EFL Cup winners United lost in the league, something referenced by the Chelsea website on Friday.
