EXCLUSIVE

Chelsea will target the likes of Monaco's Tiemoue Bakayoko and Atalanta's Franck Kessie in the summer, with Juventus expected to hold on to Claudio Marchisio.

Reports in Italy claimed Antonio Conte had spoken to Marchisio and that he was interested in a move for the 31-year-old, but Chelsea are looking for a younger profile of midfielder, with the likes of Cesc Fabregas, Nemanja Matic and N'Golo Kante already in their squad.
