Chelsea target Candreva will stay at Inter, says agent

Blues manager Antonio Conte still wants to improve his team before the transfer window shuts, but it appears the Italy international won't be joining

Chelsea have been dealt a blow as reported target Antonio Candreva's agent has declared the midfielder is set to stay with Inter.

Blues manager Antonio Conte worked with Candreva during his time in charge of Italy, and was reportedly keen to add the 30-year-old to his current side.

The Italy international joined Inter last summer from Lazio, scoring six goals and adding 10 assists in his debut Serie A campaign with the Nerazzurri.
