Conte warns Chelsea bosses he needs FIVE more signings

Antonio Conte has told Roman Abramovich he needs FIVE more signings to make Chelsea challengers again.

New boss Conte laid out his demands in a stormy two-hour summit meeting with owner Abramovich, director Marina Granovskaia and technical director Michael Emenalo.

Conte fears he will have no chance of leading Chelsea to the title if his squad is not drastically improved and wants new signings in ALL departments

The crunch hotel talks took place last Saturday night in Austria after Chelsea’s 2-0 friendly defeat to Rapid Vienna.

That was Conte’s first look at some of his squad in match action and a fresh discussion about their transfer plans followed.

Abramovich is understood to have walked away from the talks looking less than impressed, according to witnesses.

A further meeting was held the next day before Abramovich watched training.
