Antonio Conte tells Chelsea chiefs: Get me Leonardo Bonucci or Virgil van Dijk
Juventus star Leonardo Bonucci is wanted by Chelsea

The Blues boss looks set to splash the cash this summer with Champions League football back on the agenda at Stamford Bridge.

Starsport understands Chelsea have agreed a deal for Everton talisman Romelu Lukaku.

But Conte won't stop there as he looks to bolster his squad.

The Telegraph say Bonucci and Van Dijk are top targets to boost his defensive line.

Conte is a huge admirer of Bonucci who has been a standout performer for Juventus.

Juve stormed to Serie A glory last season and reached the Champions League final.

Conte could face an internal battle to secure Bonucci's services, though.

The Telegraph say Chelsea bigwigs might struggle to justify spending £50m on a 30-year-old player.

With that in mind, Van Dijk might be a more realistic prospect.

Southampton star Virgil van Dijk has been linked with Chelsea

The Southampton star is expected to cost significantly more, but he's five years Bonucci's junior.

Liverpool were desperate to snap up the talented Dutchman.

But they withdrew their interest amid tapping up accusations.
