According to Journalist Duncan Castles Chelsea boss Antonio Conte was not happy with the addition of Danny Drinkwater on Deadline Day.
Journalist Duncan Castles claims that Conte didn’t really want the England international, and he doesn’t think he’s the same level of player as Nemanja Matic.
During a Transfer Window podcast, Castles said:
“He’s not the player Conte wants as a second midfielder. Conte’s position was that he would be happy to accept Matic being sold but he would want to get two replacements – Bakayoko which he got and a player of similar quality.
“Conte won’t be provided with the replacement he wants, which is what Chelsea are doing across the entirety of the team.”
Chelsea spent over £180million, but the Italian missed out on a number of key targets as Romelu Lukaku, Ross Barkley, and Fernando Llorente all rejected the chance to join.
