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

RB: Stephan Lichtsteiner

The Juventus right-back is well known to the former Italy manager as he signed him for the Old Lady in his first year at the Juventus Stadium, and was mooted for a reunion with his old boss in the Premier League.

The Blues already have both Cesar Azpilicueta and Branislav Ivanovic as senior full-back options, however, Conte may have lacked confidence in the pair after the calamity that was last season.
