Chelsea will battle with Manchester United for the signing of Benfica right-back Nelson Semedo. The youngster has been linked with United for some time.
The Portuguese star is valued at around £34.5million by the club. Jose Mourinho has already started his work to bring the player to Old Trafford. Now Conte wants the player to improve his wingback section.
Victor Moses has been thriving in the new position since Conte started to deploy him as the right wingback. But the Italian gaffer now has decided to provide some depth as the Premier League is edging towards the final half.
Jose Mourinho recently claimed that Antonio Valencia is the best right back in the world and it seems he is right now happy with the Ecuadorian’s performance. The 31-year-old also renewed his contract recently to pledge his future to the club.
Semedo is equally good in his defensive and offensive aspects and would be a great signing for Chelsea who are aiming a sixth Premier League crown.
