After turning Chelsea into genuine title contenders, Chelsea reportedly plan to back Antonio Conte with a huge transfer budget in January.

According to a report by Standard Sport, Chelsea are prepared to give Antonio Conte a huge transfer budget to improve the squad in January so Chelsea can win the Premier League this season.

Conte is reportedly impressed with how quick Chelsea players have adapted to the 3-4-3 formation but he is concerned that the squad lacks strength in depth.

According to the report, Conte wants to add a new centre-half, another full-back, a central midfielder and an attacking player to the squad in January to sustain Chelsea’s title push.
