Conte looking to sign top class La Liga forward, Star could join Chelsea for £35m if this happens

Chelsea are looking to strengthen their attack at the end of this season and have already identified potential targets.

Daily Mirror have confirmed that Antonio Conte is looking to sign the Belgian forward Yannick Ferreira Carrasco.

The Atletico Madrid star has been a revelation since leaving Monaco for the La Liga side. The 23-year-old is rated as one of the best attacking talents in Europe right now and Chelsea are keen on signing him.

Carrasco joined the La Liga club in 2015 and signed a five-year contract with a £35 million buy-out clause.

Mirror are reporting that Atletico Madrid want to increase the player’s release clause by offering him a new and improved contract this season.
