Chelsea line up surprise swoop for £40m Tottenham ace: Antonio Conte is a fan
CHELSEA are considering a surprise move for Kyle Walker, reports claim.
Kyle Walker has no shortage of admirers
Antonio Conte’s men have recently been crowned as champions.
But he isn’t prepared to rest on his laurels.
Signing a defender and a midfielder has been identified as a priority.
Antonio Conte is a fan of Kyle Walker
And according to the Daily Mirror, Conte has fixed his sights on a deal for Walker.
The right-back has been valued at £40million, and increasingly looks likely to leave White Hart Lane after falling out of favour with Mauricio Pochettino.
Manchester City have been credited with an interest, with Pep Guardiola keen to boost the number of homegrown players in his squad.
Tottenham starting 11 make their way onto the pitch
The Mirror suggest Conte is a fan of the England international.
But as of yet, no approach has been made.
Walker is expected to fly out to Hong Kong with the rest of the Spurs squad on Monday for a post-season friendly.
