Conte: If we'd signed these 2 stars Chelsea would've dominated

Former Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has named two players he wanted to bring to the club.

Conte was in charge at the Blues from 2016 to 2018, winning the Premier League once.

He won the league in his first season and the FA Cup in his second term, but then left.

"My history says that I always arrived at my clubs in a difficult situation with problems. I always build," Conte told The Telegraph.

"After my first season at Chelsea, when we won the title, we could have become dominant in England.

“We spoke with [Romelu] Lukaku and [Virgil] Van Dijk, and with those two important players, we could have changed the situation."
