The Chelsea boss likes Tottenham Hotspur’s Danny Rose a lot it seems.
Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is a “big fan” of Tottenham Hotspur defender Danny Rose, according to The Mail.
The 27-year-old is one of the Premier League’s finest left-backs and helped Tottenham win Champions League football for a second season in succession last term.
However, the England international has not played since January due to a knee injury and is expected to miss the early part of the 2017-18 season as a result.
That might be the only thing which prevents the Chelsea boss from making a move this summer as The Mail claims that Conte is an admirer of Rose.
Even without his injury, Spurs would be unlikely to sell him, having already offloaded Kyle Walker to Manchester City for a reported £54 million.
It would not be a great look for the North London side, or indeed Chairman Daniel Levy, if two huge players for the Lilywhites were to join Premier League rivals this summer.
Tottenham kick off their Premier League campaign on August 12 with a trip to Newcastle United.
