Conte could target Christian Benteke
Chelsea could target Christian Benteke as a potential replacement for Diego Costa.
Costa was involved in a training ground argument with Conte last week, and was subsequently dropped for Chelsea’s 3-0 win over Leicester last weekend.
It’s understood the row was over a huge offer for Costa coming from China, however, he was back in full training earlier this week.
However, Costa is still expected to leave Chelsea this summer, and the board are thought to be in the process of finding a replacement.
The Guardian are suggesting that Chelsea could make a move for Crystal Palace star Christian Benteke, once of Liverpool.
Antonio Conte remains keen on Benteke despite the Belgian’s underwhelming season at Anfield, where he only managed ten goals in 42 appearances.
