Former Chelsea defender Marcel Desailly says the Blues cannot take it easy after winning the Premier League if they are to retain the title.

Antonio Conte's men will have the additional demands of the Champions League this season after a year out of the competition.

And the Frenchman, who was speaking at the Star Sixes event in London's O2 Arena, has stressed the importance of re-doubling Chelsea's efforts in order to defend their title.

Desailly also spoke about the Blues' need to sign a striker and whether Chelsea would be able to retain their Premier League crown.
