This is the dream Chelsea transfer XI Conte could have had for his first season

GK: Thibaut Courtois

There was no need for any concern from the incoming Antonio Conte here. The 24-year-old is one of the best ‘keepers in world football, and still has plenty of potential to be realised.

The Italian manager may have trepidations about his back four, but he need not worry about the Belgian between the sticks. Should the Blues get back to title winning form then the shot-stopper will be crucial in that.
