Antonio Conte says he anticipates Chelsea doing business in January, with The Independent understanding that his main target is the type of forward player who can operate in a few positions across the front line.
The Italian is more content with his squad than in September - and again mentioned the progress of 17-year-old Ethan Ampadu - but says they will buy if the right deal becomes available. He also stated he still wants to improve the depth of his squad.
If there is the possibility to improve the squad on the numerical aspect, I think it would be a good choice,” Conte said. “But, at the same time, I'm enjoying working with these players. At this moment, I'm ready. Ready to continue to play with all these players. They are showing me great commitment, great behaviours, and I'm very happy to work with these players. At the same time, if there is the possibility to improve our squad, I think the club will try to do this.
