Chelsea transfer news: Antonio Conte not happy despite Davide Zappacosta deal - Sky Italia
CHELSEA manager Antonio Conte is still unhappy despite agreeing a deal for Torino defender Davide Zappacosta, according to Sky Italia’s Manuele Baiocchini.
Antonio Conte is reportedly not happy with Chelsea's transfer business
Chelsea have had a difficult transfer window, missing out on a number of key targets to rival clubs.
The Blues lost Romelu Lukaku to Manchester United and more recently Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to Liverpool.
The Stamford Bridge club have now added to their squad with the signing of full-back Davide Zappacosta from Torino, which is yet to be confirmed.
However, Sky Sports Italia reporter Manuele Baiocchini has claimed the surprise £23m deal is not enough to keep Antonio Conte happy.

“It has come as a surprise to us,” Baiocchini said.
“We did not know before yesterday. It's 25m euros plus bonuses for the player.
“He can play on both the right and the left. He has energy, great technique and is a good player.
“Antonio Conte wasn’t very happy before today, maybe Zappacosta is a little sugar for him.”
However, despite the imminent arrival of the 25-year-old, Baiocchini believes Conte’s relationship with Chelsea is still strained.
“He wanted a different transfer window,” Baiocchini added.
“Conte wanted more players and asked the owners.
“The relationship between Conte and Chelsea is not so good now.”
