Antonio Conte wants up to four further signings before the transfer window closes at the end of August.

The Chelsea manager has already brought in Tiemoue Bakayoko, Antonio Rudiger, Alvaro Morata and Willy Caballero this summer and hopes to double that number with a late recruitment drive.

The club's penalty shoot-out defeat to Arsenal on Sunday highlighted the squad's lack of depth and captain Gary Cahill has since said the club cannot afford key injury blows.

Both Bakayoko and Eden Hazard will miss the start of the season with injuries, while Diego Costa is set to leave the club before the end of the month.

As well as another midfielder, Conte will target at least one wing-back, an attacking midfielder and another forward.

Ross Barkley, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Renato Sanches, Fernando Llorente and Alex Sandro are among the names on Chelsea's wishlist.
