Chelsea Transfer Roundup: 3 of the biggest transfer stories you need to know about
Ben Gibson to Chelsea
Now for a slightly better story for Chelsea fans – and this one comes in the form of a positive move from the Blues.
According to the Daily Mail, Chelsea have sent scouts to watch Middlesbrough defender Ben Gibson – who the Blues are reportedly keen on signing.
Gibson, whilst not a particularly high profile player, is one of the Premier League’s most impressive breakout talents – and he would tick a number of boxes for Conte.
The most important of these would be the fact that he is homegrown; and that could point Conte towards him over other targets.
This has all the makings of a deal – and a great one at that.
