Conte has already brought in Alvaro Morata from Real Madrid for a club-record fee of £70million.
Morata is seemingly a direct replacement for Diego Costa, after last season’s top scorer was told he was no longer in Conte’s plans.
However, former Blues frontman Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink reckons to compete for all trophies this season, Morata will need some help up top.
“He would want to compete for all the trophies and I think if you’re a Chelsea player or a Chelsea fan, or a Chelsea coach, that’s what you do,” Hasselbaink said on Goals on Sunday.

"They have Morata but I do feel that they need one more.
“I think Morata is going to be a brilliant signing. What I like about Morata is that he’s played for big clubs, he’s played for Juventus, he’s played for Real Madrid.
“So he knows what is expected from him, he knows that there is pressure. His movement is magnificent, he will score goals.”
