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

CB: John Stones

The now Man City defender may seem like a strange name to appear in this transfer dream team, however, the Italian manager was considering a move for the England international before he arrived in the country, and before Mr. Guardiola weighed in.

The former Everton man would have provided a long term solution to Conte’s defensive problem, whilst also offering the ability to play, confidently, with the ball at his feet.
