Chelsea boss Antonio Conte in Italy as Blues look to bring in recruits on Deadline Day including Mahrez, Drinkwater and Barkley
CHELSEA boss Antonio Conte is currently enjoying the international break in Italy with his club set to be heavily active on Deadline Day.
The Blues could sign up several players before the close of the transfer window, with Riyad Mahrez, Danny Drinkwater, Fernando Llorente and Ross Barkley all potential recruits.
With the Premier League on halt this weekend while World Cup qualifier are played, Conte has been snapped all smiles back in his native country.
It's no surprise he is grinning like a Cheshire cat as owner Roman Abramovich is set to splash the cash - targeting the defence all the way up to attack.
Swansea City striker Llorente is a £15million target for the West Londoners, however rivals Tottenham are looking to lure away the Spanish international to Wembley.
While Leicester City stalwart Drinkwater has handed in a transfer request at the King Power Stadium to force through a move.
The 27-year-old has been slapped with a £40m asking price, though Chelsea believe they can nab him for a significantly smaller fee.
They will also look to bolster their midfield with the acquisition of Everton's contract rebel Barkley.
