Chelsea transfer news: Antonio Conte has list of four targets but faces competition from Everton All the latest transf

Antonio Conte has drawn up a shortlist of four defenders he will target during the January transfer window as he prepares Chelsea for a Premier League title push.

The Italian is keen to find players who he believes are capable of playing his 3-4-3 formation and wants to bring in at least one central defender in the new year.

The Blues can count on Gary Cahill, David Luiz, John Terry and, when declared fully fit, Kurt Zuoma as central defensive options but Conte feels he needs to add to that if Chelsea are to become champions.
