Antonio Conte has been given the green light to sign Inter Milan midfielder Antonio Candreva.

Inter are ready to sell for £25m with the Italy star keen on a switch to Chelsea to team up with Conte.

Chelsea are desperate to bolster their squad with Candreva on their hit list, having already made a £15m move for Leicester's Danny Drinkwater.

Drinkwater is desperate to move to Chelsea and a minor thigh injury has meant he has not been in contention while his future is resolved.

Leicester have quoted £40m for the title winner while Chelsea also want Southampton's Virgil van Dijk.

Conte has been given reassurances that Chelsea are pushing hard in the market as they close in on several targets.

They also want Juventus wing back Alex Sandro, but they are willing to give him a new deal, while Arsenal's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is also a Chelsea target.
