Bridge of big buys

CHELSEA have been told to back Antonio Conte with a major summer spree – or risk another disastrous title defence.

The arrival of Alvaro Morata from Real Madrid will take Chelsea’s spending to £140million, but Conte insists it is still not enough.

The Blues boss wants Swansea striker Fernando Llorente, plus full-backs Alex Sandro, from Juventus, and Real Madrid’s Danilo.

Conte said: “We are a great club, but we are in a moment where we can’t make a mistake. We need to improve and increase our squad and to be something important for our future.

“We must improve with new buys to try to reach the level of the other teams who stayed at the top.”
